A method and apparatus for continuous casting of metal. The flow of molten metal is altered to eliminate or reduce the transfer of entrained mold flux slag and non-metallic particles to the vicinity of solidifying metal near the mold walls, thereby resulting in significantly reduced sliver and related defects. Flow modifier members are placed such that their larger surface is more aligned with the larger dimension of the interior volume of the vessel in which the member is placed. In a particular form, the members may be shaped as rectangular plates and placed substantially parallel to the longer interior wall of the vessel. |
