Abstract (en)

In a continuous-casting plant which uses a tank (1) made of refractory material set on top of the crystallizer (9) for removing the meniscus and the supernatant layer (7) of covering powders from the solidification area, around the said tank there are electromagnetic means (5, 6) designed to generate variable magnetic fields for slowing down and making uniform the disordered flow of liquid metal inside the said tank, whilst at the joint between the tank and the crystallizer, other electromagnetic means (11) are set which are designed to generate a direct magnetic field so as to remove locally the liquid metal from the walls of the tank (1) and of the crystallizer (9). <IMAGE>
