Method for moving and stirring of heavy metallurgical melts

摘要

In order to stir a metallurgical melt and to improve reactions therein, the melt is caused to flow in two substantially toroidal paths which have a substantially common area by reciprocating therein under proper conditions a mechanical stirring member. The stirring member has a side wall of substantial height, and a stroke which is preferably at least 40 percent of the minimum thickness of the body. The two toroidal flows may have a common direction in their meeting area, or may flow in opposite directions in such area.
