Electromagnetic control of the direct strip casting process
Abstract
Controlling the melt flow and free surface motion is crucial to maintain stability of many metallurgical processes. In the direct strip casting process, a known problem is the back-flow of liquid metal into the small gap between the moving belt and the refractory. Apart from geometrical and feeding modifications reported in the literature to reduce the back-flow, electromagnetic technologies could potentially solve this issue. We investigate numerically the application of the AC magnetic field to deflect the melt from the back-flow area. Simulations show that it is possible to completely prevent the back-flow but at the expense of introducing oscillations in the shape of the cast solid sheet downstream. Combination of AC field for back-flow prevention with a static (DC) magnetic field for free surface stabilization downstream can provide a fully stable casting process.
