A mathematical model, based on the overall heat balance and the growth of solidification front, has been formulated to describe the single‐roll strip‐casting process for steel. The model provides useful interrelationships between the rate of growth of solidifying strip and the principal process variables such as the speed of rotation of caster drum, the system geometry, the superheat of melt and the relevant heat transfer coefficients. Using these relationships it has been possible to predict the effect of process parameters on the process performance in terms of the final strip thickness and the casting rate.
