Abstract (en)

To stir the molten metal in an open-topped mould (10) of a continuous casting process an electromagnetic stirrer (20) is placed adjacent the lower end of the mould and around the strand (12) emerging from the mould. The magnetic field produced by the stirrer (20) rotates about a vertical axis and promotes movement of the molten metal above and below the stirrer into the mould and into the strand. The stirrer is formed as separable parts for fitting to existing moulds and the stirrer is adapted for use with moulds of different shapes and sizes.
