Method for the controlled tempering of a casting trough and a casting trough for carrying out the method

A method and device for tempering a casting trough; specifically a method and device for tempering a trough without causing the release of potentially hazardous substances to the immediate environment. A method and device for the controlled tempering of a casting trough integrated between a supply vessel for a molten metal (e.g., copper or a copper alloy), and at least one continuous casting mold. The trough walls and the trough floor of the casting trough are at least partially provided with a lining layer having a specific electrical resistance between 10 ·m to 10 ·m and being resistant to the heat of the molten metal. The lining layer is inductively heated by an electrical heating device arranged around the lining layer.
