Abstract
A method of, and apparatus for, the cooling of a strand during the continuous casting of metals, especially steel, wherein a cooling fluid possessing a regulatable quantity for impingement at the surface of the strand is sprayed between two guide elements neighboring one another in the direction of strand travel onto the strand surface. According to the invention, the cooling liquid or fluid is selectively sprayed from one spray pattern or two spray patterns which are essentially similarly directed and initially extend behind one another in the direction of travel of the strand and thereafter are united into a spray pattern having a flat spray characteristic, wherein the united spray pattern has a thickness and direction which approximately corresponds to that of one of the adjacently situated spray patterns.
