Abstract (en)
According to the method in accordance with the invention, for the continuous casting of thin metallic products, the molten metal is cast into an ingot mould whose walls define a casting space 7 of elongated transverse section and the thickness of the product emerging from the ingot mould is reduced, while the core thereof is still unsolidified, to the thickness desired for the said thin metallic product. According to the invention, the cast metal is caused to solidify on the surface in the ingot mould so that the solidified skin of the product emerging from the ingot mould forms, on each edge, a solidified wall of rounded transverse section containing the still unsolidified metal, and the reduction in thickness is effected so that the said rounded solidified wall progressively folds over on itself. In order to form the said wall of rounded section, the ends 9 of the said section of the casting space are rounded in a convex shape. <IMAGE>
