Abstract
A continuous casting device includes a pair of cooling rolls (1, 2) that rotate in opposite directions to each other. A pair of side weirs (11) have inner surfaces (11a) that covers the end surfaces (1a, 2a) of the cooling rolls (1, 2) and circular surfaces (12b) that covers the peripheral surfaces (1b, 2b) of the cooling rolls (1, 2). At least one of the side weirs (11) is movable in an axial direction of the cooling rolls (1, 2). The continuous casting device also includes electromagnets for forming a magnetic flux in a direction parallel with a contact surface of the side weirs (11) with the molten metal (4) the contact surface extending along the peripheral surfaces (1b, 2b) of the cooling rolls (1, 2) at the portions opposite to the peripheral surfaces (1b, 2b) of the cooling rolls (1, 2) of the side weirs (11).
