In a process for the continuous casting of steel, molten steel is vertically cast in mold means to form a strand having an elongate shape in cross-section and is caused to solidify as it flows through the mold means. To permit a thin strand to be efficiently produced, the strand is first cooled while a constant cross-section is maintained, that cooling is continued until a strong shell which has entirely been solidified at least in the narrow side walls has been formed, and the cooling and solidification of the strand are subsequently continued while the strand is progressively deformed and compacted to form a flat preliminary strip.
