Abstract
A continuous casting mold for casting a strand has side walls defining an open-ended mold cavity. In order to increase the casting speed while maintaining a simple mode of construction of the continuous casting mold, the latter has the following characteristic features: at least two oppositely arranged side walls are rigidly fixed relative to each other about a pour-in section of the mold cavity and have a conicity decreasing in the running direction of the strand and, in a run-out section of the mold cavity arranged to follow the pour-in section in the running direction of the strand, include side wall sections movable relative to the strand and pressable at the strand by pressing devices, which side wall sections are arranged at a slighter conicity than the slightest conicity of the side walls of the pour-in section of the mold cavity.
