Abstract
In continuous casting of a metal ingot which undergoes solidification progressively inwardly from its periphery while advancing through and beyond an open-ended mold, with induction stirring of the molten interior of the ingot effected by a moving magnetic field acting on the ingot throughout a stirring zone in the path of ingot advance so as to produce longitudinally directed metal flow, the applied stirring force is caused to diminish progressively and continuously toward at least one extremity of the stirring zone.
