The invention relates to a method for producing a strand from a monotectic alloy which is made of multiple constituents and in which drops of a primary phase are distributed in a uniform manner in a crystalline matrix in the solidified state. The uniform distribution can be achieved during the production process using the following method steps: a) melting the alloy constituents which consist of at least one matrix component and components that form the primary phase and heating the constituents to a temperature at which a single homogeneous phase exists; b) transporting the melt (2) in the form of strands in a transport direction which is inclined towards the horizontal at a transport speed; c) cooling the melt (2) while transporting the strand lower face perpendicularly to the transportdirection in order to form a crystallization front when transporting in a cooling zone; d) setting the cooling intensity, the inclination of the transport direction, and the transport speed such thata horizontal crystallization front is formed and the Marangoni force produced by cooling and forming the primary phase in the form of drops is oriented anti-parallel to the gravitational force such that the drops of the primary phase in the matrix component move in the direction of the gravitational force; and e) drawing the alloy which has been solidified into the strand (9) out of the cooling zone.
