Title: Chill roll casting of continuous filament

Abstract: Improvement in the method for making metal filament by depositing molten metal onto the peripheral surface of a rotating annular chill roll and separating the solid filament from the chill roll, which involves applying tension to the filament, after it has been separated from the chill roll, along the direction of a tangent to the chill roll past the point at which the filament separates from the chill roll by centrifugal action, to thereby prolong its contact with the chill roll. Apparatus is provided for practice of the method.
