The present invention relates to a device for continuous or
semi-continuous casting of a metal material. The device comprises a first
arrangement comprising a coil (7) having an extension around the casting
mould (2) in an area, which is arranged to comprise molten metal
material. The coil (7) is arranged to be fed with alternating current
such that a varying magnetic field generated and is applied to the molten
metal material in the casting mould (2). The device also comprises a
second arrangement comprising at least two magnetic poles (8), which are
provided at opposite sides of the casting mould (2). The poles (8) are
arranged to supply a static or periodic low-frequency magnetic field to
the molten metal material in the casting area. The poles (8) comprise at
least a portion (11) which comprises a plurality of material layers which
are electrically insulated from each other.
