Abstract
A method of continuously casting metal in which the metal is subjected during its solidification at a predetermined zone to the action of a magnetic field which is controlled as a function of the withdrawal speed of the metal during the continuous casting thereof to maintain in the region of the solidification of the metal a magnetic pressure between two predetermined limits to thereby agitate the metal during its solidification to improve the structure of the cast product especially in a central axial zone of the product.
