METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CASTING OF METAL

摘要

A method and a device, during casting of metal in a mould (12) which is open in both ends in the casting direction and where, in the mould, an incoming primary flow of melt is braked and split and the secondary flow is controlled by means of static or periodic low-frequency magnetic fields acting on the melt, for ensuring that the upper surface of the melt, the meniscus (17), does not solidify by the provision of at least one inductive heater (18) adapted to apply a magnetic alternating field which acts on and develops heat in and/or compressive forces acting on the melt close to the meniscus.
