Abstract
A method for continuously casting metal in horizontal direction in which molten metal is continuously discharged from a container through a conduit of refractory material into a horizontally-extending cooled ingot mold axially aligned with the conduit. The flow passage formed by the conduit and the ingot mold increases abruptly at the junction of the conduit and the ingot mold. The outer periphery zone of the stream of molten metal passing through the conduit is accelerated by electromagnetic force so as to enter into the ingot mold in such a manner as to create immediately downstream of the junction an annular space free of metal; and an apparatus for carrying out the method.
