Since its widespread introduction for steel in the 1950s, it has evolved to achieve improved yield, quality, productivity and cost efficiency. It allows lower-cost production of metal sections with better quality, due to the inherently lower costs of continuous, standardized production of a product, as well as providing increased control over the process through automation. Nevertheless, challenges remain and new ones appear, as ways are sought to minimize casting defects and to cast alloys that could originally only be cast via other means. This Special Issue of the journal "Metals" consists of 14 research articles that cover many aspects of experimental work and theoretical modelling related to the ongoing development of continuous casting processes.Technology: general issuesbicsscinclusion motionair mist spray coolingempirical mode decompositionelectromagnetic fieldsolidificationfinal electromagnetic stirringbeam blankliquid core reductiontundishthermomechanical couplingflow behaviorsteel tundishaustenite grain coarseningporesannular argon blowinground bloommoldthin-slab cast direct-rollingdata streamgrain growth controlpropagationtwo-phase pinningHTCpredictionargon gas distributionbaffleflow fieldbubblesheat transferinclusionsupper nozzleswirling flow tundishcrystalhybrid simulation modelroll gap valueinclusion entrapmentfluid flowbillet continuous castingmechanismheat fluxnumerical simulationsecondary coolinguneven secondary coolingpolycrystalline modelmold levelcontinuous castingentrainmentslab continuous castingmagnetohydrodynamicsentrapmentasymptotic analysisbulge deformationslab moldsegmented rollervelocityfinite element analysismulti-source information fusionglobal optimizationsupport vector regressionvariational mode decompositionmultiphase flowmolten steel flowPIVTechnology: general issuesVynnycky Michael1318750ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910346839503321Continuous Casting3033516UNINA
