STIRRING PROCESS AND DEVICE FOR IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF A CONTINUOUSLY CAST METAL

摘要

Stirring process and device for improving the quality of a continuously cast metal This device for stirring a metal during solidification in a continuous casting installation comprises an inductor producing a fixed magnetic field with respect to itself, means for creating rotary movement of this inductor about the metal during casting and heat screens permeable to the field disposed at least between the field generator and the cast metal. The rotation of the inductor causes eddy currents in the casting and produces forces energetically rotating the liquid metal.
