DISTRIBUTION OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD AND ITS CONTROL EFFECT ON THE MOLTEN METAL FLOW IN FLOW CONTROL MOLD
DISTRIBUTION OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD AND ITS CONTROLEFFECT ON THE MOLTEN METAL FLOW IN FLOW CONTROLMOLD

A thermo-simulation experimental continuous caster was established to study the effect of two static magnetic fields imposed the whole width of the mold on the molten metal flow. Low melting point Bi-Pb-Sn alloy and silicon oil were adopted to simulate the molten metal and mold powder respectively. The results show that the control effect of electromagnetic fields on the molten metal flow in the different zones of mold is different. Therefore it is important to study and design new types of magnetic fields to satisfy the request of controlling the molten metal flow in the mold.
