PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC FORMING OF MOLTEN METALS OR ALLOYS, COOLANT MANIFOLD FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC CASTING

摘要

A method and apparatus is disclosed for electromagnetic casting of metal and alloy ingots of rectangular or other desired shape having corners or portions of small radius of curvature. A coolant application system is provided which lessens the severity of the rounding off of radius of the corners of the electromagnetically cast ingots by contouring the coolant application rate and/or elevation so that the rate and/or elevation is a minimum at the corners of the ingot.
