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. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $ainclusion motion 610 $aair mist spray cooling 610 $aempirical mode decomposition 610 $aelectromagnetic field 610 $asolidification 610 $afinal electromagnetic stirring 610 $abeam blank 610 $aliquid core reduction 610 $atundish 610 $athermomechanical coupling 610 $aflow behavior 610 $asteel tundish 610 $aaustenite grain coarsening 610 $apores 610 $aannular argon blowing 610 $around bloom 610 $amold 610 $athin-slab cast direct-rolling 610 $adata stream 610 $agrain growth control 610 $apropagation 610 $atwo-phase pinning 610 $aHTC 610 $aprediction 610 $aargon gas distribution 610 $abaffle 610 $aflow field 610 $abubbles 610 $aheat transfer 610 $ainclusions 610 $aupper nozzle 610 $aswirling flow tundish 610 $acrystal 610 $ahybrid simulation model 610 $aroll gap value 610 $ainclusion entrapment 610 $afluid flow 610 $abillet continuous casting 610 $amechanism 610 $aheat flux 610 $anumerical simulation 610 $asecondary cooling 610 $auneven secondary cooling 610 $apolycrystalline model 610 $amold level 610 $acontinuous casting 610 $aentrainment 610 $aslab continuous casting 610 $amagnetohydrodynamics 610 $aentrapment 610 $aasymptotic analysis 610 $abulge deformation 610 $aslab mold 610 $asegmented roller 610 $avelocity 610 $afinite element analysis 610 $amulti-source information fusion 610 $aglobal optimization 610 $asupport vector regression 610 $avariational mode decomposition 610 $amultiphase flow 610 $amolten steel flow 610 $aPIV 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aVynnycky$b Michael$01318750 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346839503321 996 $aContinuous Casting$93033516 997 $aUNINA
