In the continuous casting of molten steel into a mold having a vertical casting space, from which the cast metal is passed as a molten core surrounded by a peripheral crust on into a curved guide path section, the improvement comprising cooling, while passing through the straight as well as the curved guide path, that side of the metal which is to form the side of greater radius of curvature more intensively than the opposing side to form a crust of greater thickness, while maintaining an intensity of cooling in the region of the straight guide path section approximately 3 to 7 times greater than the intensity of cooling in the curved guide path section, thereby strengthening the cast metal, and thereafter, after deflection of the cast metal into the curved guide path and while the core is still molten, reversing the differential cooling so as to apply a cooling of greater intensity on the side of the lesser radius of curvature, whereby the solidified crusts along all sides of the cast metal assume substantially the same thickness and the cast metal assumes a symmetrical shape at a point prior to complete solidification.
