Producing magnesium wire by continuously pouring liquid magnesium stream over nozzle and introducing stream between counter-rotating casting wheels having caliber, completely solidifying liquid magnesium, and rolling solidified magnesium

The process comprises continuously pouring a stream of liquid magnesium over a nozzle and introducing the stream between two counter-rotating casting wheels having a circumferential, corresponding caliber (14), exiting the liquid magnesium and completely solidifying the liquid magnesium before a closest point between the casting wheels, and rolling the solidified magnesium. The liquid magnesium is completely solidified at a small distance in front of the narrowest point between the casting wheels. The method further comprises cooling the rolled magnesium wire.

The liquid magnesium is completely solidified at a small distance in front of the narrowest point between the casting wheels. The method further comprises cooling the rolled magnesium wire after exiting from the casting wheels using a liquid inert gas. The magnesium wire has a round, an oval or n-polygonal cross section, and a largest diameter of 1-20 mm. An independent claim is included for an apparatus for preparation of magnesium wire. Es wird ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Magnesiumdraht vorgestellt, bei dem mindestens ein Strom flüssigen Magnesiums kontinuierlich über mindestens eine Düse derart zwischen zwei gegenläufig rotierende Gießräder mit umlaufenden, korrespondierenden Kalibern gegossen wird, dass das flüssige Magnesium zwischen dem Austritt aus der Düse und vor der engsten Stelle zwischen den Gießrädern vollständig erstarrt ist, und dass das erstarrte Magnesium unmittelbar nach der Erstarrung durch die Gießräder gewalzt wird. Darüber hinaus wird eine Vorrichtung beschrieben, die geeignet ist, das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren durchzuführen.
