Original abstract
Electromagnetic stirring (EMS) suppresses the growth of columnar crystals of billets and reduces the tendency to cracking during casting and at low temperatures. A caster was used for the testing of two induction stirrers – one on the actual mould and the other beneath the mould – to determine the effect of EMS on the formation of the structure of non-alloy steel. Experimental research was also confronted with results acquired from the application of the models of the temperature field and chemical heterogeneity and the physical-similarity theory. Statistical monitoring of the quality of concast billets has proven that stirring significantly reduces the occurrence of defects – in this case cracks.
