FIELD: metallurgy, namely processes and equipment for continuous casting of metals. SUBSTANCE: apparatus includes vertical mold having two pairs of mutually opposite walls. One pair of walls is subjected to rotation. Second pair of walls is subjected to reciprocation motion. When level of cast melt is raised or descended, rotation rate of first pair of walls and reciprocation motion speed of second pair of walls are increased or decreased respectively. EFFECT: possibility for making deformed billets with desired structure at continuous casting rate. 3 cl, 2 dwg, 1 ex
