Abstract
A device for continuous. casting of workpieces has a melting crucible, a filling device, and a forming tool provided with a temperature control system. The temperature control system of the forming tool is designed so that areas of the workpiece to be manufactured that have a greater wall thickness can be cooled to a greater degree and areas of the workpiece to be manufactured with a lesser wall thickness can be cooled to a lesser degree and/or heated. The solid-liquid interface of the workpiece is located in a plane that is at least approximately perpendicular to the vertical axis of the workpiece.
