Research on Molten Steel Flow with Electromagnetic Stirring

Abstract:

The method of numerical simulation and experiment were adopted to research the molten steel flow with electromagnetic stirring(EMS). Woods metal was used to simulate molten steel flow by changing electromagnetic parameters in laboratory.The results of numerical simulation was verified. The results showed that the velocity of round mold is larger than rectangle in same EMS conditions. In order to play a fully stirring ,the EMS current and frequencies shouldn't too high in round mold, but the current is as big as possible in rectangle mold.
