A device for continuous or semi-continuous casting of metal comprising a mould having a number of mould elements () which together form a mould adapted for receiving a liquid metal (), a mould supporting structure () surrounding the mould and mechanically supporting it, and an induction coil () arranged close to the mould for reducing the contact pressure between the melt and the mould. At least one of the mould elements is divided into at least a first () and a second () part arranged so that they are electrically insulated from each other, the first mould element part being arranged before the second mould element part relative to the casting direction and said induction coil is arranged close to the first mould element part ().
