Abstract

A primary object of the present invention is to provide a technique of avoiding occurrence of surface defects caused by an electromagnetic brake while checking internal defects with this electromagnetic brake, so that cleanliness of a cast steel can be improved compared with prior arts, and the present invention provides a method for continuously casting steel, the method comprising supplying molten steel into a mold while applying an electromagnetic brake to an outlet flow discharged from an outlet port of an immersion nozzle, wherein magnetic flux density (B) of the electromagnetic brake is within a range of the following (Formula 1): B min ≤ B ≤ B max ,  B min = 800 · ( D max D 0 ) 3 · ( H SEN H 0 ) ( v · sin   θ ) , and   B max = 3000 · ( D max D 0 ) 3 · ( H SEN H 0 ) ( v · sin   θ ) 2 . ( Formula   1 )
