Abstract:
1. A metal strip continuous casting plant equipped with an ingot mould and strip temperature regulation device comprising a pair of parallel, counter-rotating rolls and two closing plates at the ends of said rolls defining a vertical casting plane of said strip, wherein the strip temperature regulation device comprises at least one substantially rectangular panel wherein the rectangular panel has its longest dimension substantially parallel to the axis of said rolls, has at least one conduit suitable for the passage of cooling gas is placed below the plane of the axis of said rolls at such a short distance from the rolls that the temperature of the strip, in the zone immediately upon exit from the ingot mould, is maintained uniform along its length, is made of refractory material, has means for varying the inclination with respect to the vertical strip casting plane and is inclined at a predetermined angle of value different from zero with respect to said vertical strip casting plane.
