The invention relates to a device for the continuous casting of metals, especially
steel, by means of a continuous casting mold (1) which is mounted in an
oscillating frame (3). Said oscillating frame can be driven so that it oscillates
in the direction of casting (2), the course of the oscillation movement
and/or the frequency being adjustable. The oscillating frame (3) is mounted
with spring assemblies (4a, 4b; 5a,
5b) arranged symmetrically on both sides of the strand, for guiding
and weight compensation. The device is used on a continuous casting mold (1)
with a shaped casting cross-section (1a), which is mounted in the
oscillating frame (3). The leaf-spring-mounted oscillating frame (3)
can be operated with the continuous casting mold (1) in a resonance oscillation
method in order to give the preliminary section a better surface.
