APPARATUS PROVIDING CONTINUOUS EXPANDABLE QUENCH SURFACE AND CASTING METHOD ABSTRACT An improvement is provided in the apparatus and method for continuous casting of metallic filament wherein a stream of molten metal is directed onto the quench surface of a rotating quench wheel. The inven- tion substantially eliminates the problem of crowning or thermal-bowing of the quench surface, thus providing a transversely flat quench surface and thereby providing for the transverse cross-sectional constancy of the cast filament. The invention comprises at least three radial expansion joints symmetrically situated about the quench wheel that allow unrestrained radial thermal growth of the hoop-like quench surface while maintaining concen- tricity of the quench surface with the shaft of rotation of the quench wheel.
