In a method of and apparatus for continuously casting a steel strand with a mould having a closed bottom molten steel is cast from a casting container into the mould, and the mould is moved away in a substantially horizontal direction to form a strand with a solidified skin and a liquid core, which strand is longer than the mould. Then the strand outside the mould is supplied with heat to maintain a uniform temperature of the liquid core, which temperature is higher than the liquidus temperature of the steel over most of the longitudinal extension of the strand. |
