Abstract

A continuous-casting mold has two long sides each of which is provided with a cooling box through which water is passed in order to cool the copper-alloy sides of the mold. Provided inside this cooling box is a plurality of inductors each wound around a magnetic element that extends between the box on one side and the wall of the mold on the other side so that these magnetic elements can act both as inductor cores and as support struts between these two facing walls. The magnetic elements may be formed as horizontal plates about which are wound elongated coils, or may be cylindrical pins on which cylindrical coils are wound.
