The aluminum industry has been in search of a viable continuous casting process for many years. Such a process would provide an increase in production as well as lower production costs. The melt drag process is capable of producing thin aluminum sheet at extremely high casting rates. Over the past ten years, many milestones have been reached in making this process acceptable for use in production. Some of these accomplishments are reviewed in this paper along with a general overview of some of the technical aspects of melt drag casting. In addition, a comparison is made with other processes available for continuously casting aluminum slab and strip.
