Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0010041A1] 1. A process for continuous, vertical or curvilinear casting of molten metals, steel in particular, to obtain cross-sectional elongated products such as slabs, whereby, by means of inductors, the molten metal, whilst solidifying in the secondary cooling stage of the casting machine, is subjected to electromagnetic agitation at least near the bottom (4) of the solidification well (2), such electromagnetic agitation being performed by entraining the molten metal in a direction of which at least one component is along the casting axis (5), said process being characterized in that the electromagnetic entrainment of the metal is located along, at least, one of the larger sides of the casting and within an area the width of which accounts for only a portion of the said side.
