Anotations

Scope note:

An industrial process in which molten metal is solidified into a continuous length for further processing, rather than being formed into individual ingots. Molten metal is forced through a water-cooled die to create a two-dimensional profile of indeterminate length. The resulting material may then be cut into shorter lengths.
