Abstract

A method of continuous casting of metals, especially steel, wherein the steel is cast into a continuous casting mold having at least two taper stages or regions which are successively arranged in the direction of travel of the cast strand. In order to accommodate the shrinkage behavior of the forming strand to different casting parameters the bath level in the continuous casting mold is altered within a number of such taper stages or regions.
