Electromagnetic agitating process applied to continuous casting.

摘要

The process enabling to rabble by electromagnetic means the molten liquid of a billet or a bloom in the course of continuous casting, consisting in applying a movable electromagnetic field to a region of the molten well formed by the billet or the bloom in the course of casting. It consists in applying to said region an electromagnetic field which is displaced in a helical manner around said region in such a manner as to produce a helical movement of the molten metal in the peripheral portion of the molten well. The invention enables the metallurgical quality of the billets or blooms obtained by continuous casting to be greatly improved. <IMAGE>
