Abstract (en)

Dense, homogeneous tubular metal products (33) such as pipe is cast in long lengths continuously by introducing liquid metal (32) into the lower portion of an annular-shaped casting vessel (11). The liquid metal (32) is withdrawn in the presence of at least one elongated upwardly travelling alternating electromagnetic levitation field and a second inner electromagnetic containment field for maintaining the tubular liquid metal column (26) in a substantially weightless and pressureless condition while solidifying. The resulting solidified tubular metal product (33) is withdrawn from the upper portion of the field, cooled and further processed to result in a desired end product.
