Abstract

A steel continuous casting method using a continuous caster that includes a pair of upper magnetic poles and a pair of lower magnetic poles is disclosed. The method comprises braking a molten steel flow with DC magnetic fields respectively applied to a pair of upper magnetic poles and a pair of lower magnetic poles while stirring the molten steel with an AC magnetic field simultaneously applied to the pair of upper magnetic poles, the strength of an AC magnetic field applied to the upper magnetic poles and strengths of DC magnetic fields applied to the upper magnetic poles and the lower magnetic poles are controlled within a particular ranges in accordance with the width of a slab to be cast.
