Abstract
By controlling the temperature (T) of a surface portion () of an ingot () in a contact region () between a mold () and the ingot () and/or a passing heat flux (q) from the surface portion () of the ingot () to the mold () in the contact region (), the thickness (D) in the contact region () of a solidified shell () obtained by the solidification of molten metal () is brought into a predetermined range. Consequently, an ingot having a good casting surface state can be cast.
