Abstract
A new electromagnetic method of controlling the quality of steel in the continuous casting process is developed by the steel and electrical industry. It is called “conductive stirring”. Basically a magnetic field perpendicular to the casting line acts together with an electric current within the strand. The resulting stirring motion of liquid steel inside the strand controls the structuring and segregation process and thus the quality of the steel.
