A flaw detecting method and apparatus for continuously testing a strip that is continuously carried through a liquid includes features for reducing air bubble generation in a liquid. The apparatus includes a liquid, carrying rolls for passage of the strip through the liquid, and ultrasonic testing probes arranged in the liquid for testing the strip. A carrying roll in contact with the liquid is fully immersed. Air bubble generation is inhibited to improve the testing reliability by at least one of (a) shielding the liquid dropping from the portion of the strip leaving the liquid, (b) reducing the dropping force of the liquid onto the liquid surface by inclining the strip, (c) installing the fully immersed carrying roll at a depth of at least 5 mm in the liquid, and (d) using a carrying speed of less than about 200 m/min. Upon manufacturing steel strips, testing is carried out in the stage of hot-rolled steel sheet, or, preferably, in pickling equipment.

One or more streams of molten metal poured into a continuous casting mold are acted on magnetically by static magnetic fields, covering substantially the entire width of the casting mold, thereby reducing the speed of the molten metal streams from the immersion nozzle, unifying the flow profile of the molten metal in the mold, preventing trapping and accumulating of mold powders and inclusions into the cast products. Magnetic poles are provided which are at least as wide as or wider than the minimum width of the cast products and the iron core is arranged on the same face of the casting mold with mutually opposite polarities in the drawing direction. Even if casting conditions change from time to time, defects in final products made of the cast metal are substantially reduced.
