Methods for casting an austenitic stainless steel thin strip casting
through a continuous caster, e.g., a twin-drum type caster, in which the
mold walls move synchronous with the casting to obtain a casting, wherein
defects, e.g., salt-and-pepper unevenly glossy defects, on a steel sheet
formed after cold rolling or cold forming are prevented. In particular,
casting an austenitic stainless steel thin strip casting by regulating a
pressing force P of mold wall faces against the casting in the range from
more than 1.0 to less than 2.5 t/m, and preferably from more than 1.1 to
not more than 1.6 t/m. The continuous caster used may be a twin-drum type
continuous caster, with a drum radius R(m) and a pressing force P(t/m) of
mold wall faces satisfying the relation 0.5.ltoreq.( {square root over
(R)}).times.P.ltoreq.2.0, and preferably 0.8.ltoreq.( {square root over
(R)}).times.P.ltoreq.1.2.
