PROBLEM: To effectively prevent the occurrence of segregation in a casting slab, even when the slab width is large. MEANS: Continuously performing soft reduction during continuous casting of a slab having a rectangular transverse cross section such that a solid fraction at center in a direction of thickness f S is at least 0.1-0.9 and a reduction ratio in a direction of slab thickness is within 1% per meter of length in a direction of casting, and continuously impacting both of the opposing sides of a narrow side of the slab 1 in a direction of slab width at at least one site where the solid fraction at center in the direction of thickness f S is within the range of 0.1-0.9, the impact being performed by using a block 3 disposed between paired pinch rolls 2a, 2b disposed adjacent to each other at a vibration frequency of impact of 4-12 Hz and an impact energy of 30-150 J. ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS: The occurrence of segregation such as center segregation and V-shape segregation is effectively prevented, even in a casting slab having a large slab width, thereby resulting in a casting slab with good internal quality. |
