Poor adhesion between the layers and low reliability of casting are addressed by adjusting the position of secondary cooling (created by applying water streams to the emerging ingot) relative to the upper surfaces of the molten metal pools compared to the conventional positions of first application of the secondary cooling.

The relative temperatures and conditions of the metals at positions where they meet at the metal interface may therefore be optimized.
