Abstract
In a method of continuous casting for rolling down a cast strand at the final stage of solidification to reduce segregation and center porosity at the center of the casting as much as possible and in particular prevent spot-shaped segregation, the rolling down is started after the center solid phase ratio of the casting reaches 0.2 and the rolling down is executed so as to compensate the total amount of volume contraction by solidification and cooling of strand in the section of the rolling down until the center solid phase ratio reaches 0.9 and thereafter the rolling down in continuously executed by a rolling down gradient of 0.08%/m or more to 1.5%/m or less.
