Abstract

The invention relates to a device for the continuous casting of metals, especially steel, by means of a continuous casting mold (1) which is mounted in an oscillating frame (3). Said oscillating frame can be driven so that it oscillates in the direction of casting (2), the course of the oscillation movement and/or the frequency being adjustable. The oscillating frame (3) is mounted with spring assemblies (4a, 4b; 5a, 5b) arranged symmetrically on both sides of the strand, for guiding and weight compensation. The device is used on a continuous casting mold (1) with a shaped casting cross-section (1a), which is mounted in the oscillating frame (3). The leaf-spring-mounted oscillating frame (3) can be operated with the continuous casting mold (1) in a resonance oscillation method in order to give the preliminary section a better surface.
