Abstract

A process and machine for the continuous casting of thin steel products, in which the inner casting space (13) of the mold (1) is given a substantially spindle-shaped cross-section which forms a central part (17) of large thickness (L), making it possible to introduce a jet of molten metal under normal conditions, and having on its sides (18) a small thickness (1) corresponding to that of the product to be produced (53). In a thickness-reducing stand (2) directly at the exit of the mold (1), the central part (17) of the product is progressively flattened to a thickness (1) equal to that of the sides.
