The present invention relates to an improved apparatus and method for continuous casting of metal into an elongated bar. The apparatus includes an elongated vertical corrugated mold sleeve adapted for receiving molten metal. Means are connected to the sleeve for chilling the metal within the sleeve and intermittently compressing the sleeve to place the interior of the sleeve into frictional engagement with the metal within the sleeve. The sleeve is intermittently released and moved in a direction opposite the direction of movement of the solidified metal.
