Strip casting using a side dam plate produces a vertical burr at the strip edge. In the present study, changing this vertical burr into a horizontal burr using a burr changer is proposed. The burr changer was placed inside the side dam plate. The burr changer was made from mild steel and an insulator sheet and cut along the shape of the roll. The burr changer was placed so as to prevent exhaustion of semisolid metal between the side dam plate and the roll-side surface. When the position of the burr changer was appropriate, the vertical burr changed into a horizontal burr. The horizontal burr was flat. The width of the horizontal burr was affected by the lowest position of the burr changer and became narrower as the lowest position of the burr changer approached the roll gap position.
