A method of casting a metallic strand as well as system for this purpose

flows for a controlled operating a continuous casting plant with high casting speeds with a mold (6), the respective opposite mold narrow (12, 13) and broadsides (10, 11), wherein melt from a distributor (2) into the mold (6) , it is proposed the following: DOLLAR a determination of the actual molding condition, DOLLAR a determination of the changes in the actual molding condition over a predetermined time interval, and, DOLLAR a if the changes within a predetermined target interval move changeover to an automatic mode of operation for casting that the determination of the conditions of the heat flows of the Kokillenschmal- to the respective Kokillenbreitseiten and in response thereto adjusting the angular setting of at least one of the two narrow sides (12, 13) and thus setting a predetermined target ratio, and measuring the melt temperature in the distributor and adjusting the casting speed in a Giesfens ter as a function of melt temperature and the respective material to be cast or DOLLAR A if the changes in at least a portion or all of the parameters taken out of the predetermined target interval are, maintaining the manual control of the angular adjustment of the casting speed and mold narrow.
