Abstract
During the continuous casting process, electromagnetic stirring (EMS) can control the flow pattern of the molten steel on the meniscus in the slab mould, while it is difficult to effectively control the entire molten steel. To this end, a novel composite magnetic field structure of EMS and electromagnetic braking (EMBr) is proposed, and the EMS–EMBr synergistic mechanism is analysed. The flow field of molten steel without a magnetic field is analysed. The magnetic field regulation strategy required to control the molten steel is clarified. The coil core structure layout of existing EMS is analysed. The action mechanism of EMS is studied through simulation, revealing the poor control effect of EMS on the molten steel under high casting speeds. Thus, a novel EMS–EMBr structure layout is proposed to enable the braking magnetic field to cover the key areas within the slab mould, ensuring that the main flow is effectively suppressed. On this basis, the effects of EMS–EMBr synergy and different process parameters on the flow pattern of molten steel are studied. The results indicate that the EMS–EMBr composite magnetic field structure proposed can more effectively control the molten steel, providing technical support for the development of electromagnetic metallurgical equipment.
