Claims
- 1. A continuous casting line for casting metal, comprising:
- an ingot mold means having a charging mouth through which to pour the molten metal, side walls, and a rear closure plate through which the metal exits, said ingot mold means having an inclination from 0.degree. to 90.degree.;
- an oscillating means to oscillate said ingot mold means;
- a roller conveyor located immediately downstream of said rear closure plate for receiving the metal;
- a plurality of electromagnetic coils which provide a stirring effect to metal in the ingot mold means, said coils being fixedly located in the side walls of said ingot mold means; and
- means for inducing said plurality of coils in a predetermined progression so as to provide pendular stirring of constant intensity from the charging mouth to the rear closure plate and in the opposite direction.
- 2. A continuous casting line as claimed in claim 1, further comprising cooling means for cooling the ingot mold means and the electromagnetic coils, said cooling means being located said side walls.
- 3. A continuous casting line for casting metal, comprising:
- an ingot mold means having a charging mouth through which to pour the molten metal, side walls, and a rear closure plate through which the metal exits, said ingot mold means having an inclination from 0.degree. to 90.degree.;
- an oscillating means to oscillate said ingot mold means;
- a roller conveyor located immediately downstream of said rear closure plate for receiving the metal;
- a plurality of electromagnetic coils which provide a stirring effect to metal in the ingot mold means, said coils being fixedly located in the side walls of said ingot mold means; and
- means for inducing said plurality of coils in a predetermined progression so as to provide pendular stirring at a first intensity from the charging mouth to the rear closure plate and at a second intensity in the opposite direction.
- 4. A continuous casting line as claimed in claim 3, further comprisng cooling means for cooling the ingot mold means and the electromagnetic coils, said cooling means being located said side walls.
- 5. A continuous casting line for casting metal, comprising:
- an ingot mold means having a charging mouth through which to pour the molten metal, side walls, and a rear closure plate through which the metal exits, said ingot mold means having an inclination from 0.degree. to 90.degree.;
- an oscillating means to oscillate said ingot mold means;
- a roller conveyor located immediately downstream of said rear closure plate for receiving the metal;
- a plurality of electromagnetic coils;
- means for mechanically displacing said electromagnetic coils from the charging mouth to the rear closure plate and back again; and
- means for providing electromagnetic stirring at a first intensity when said means for mechanically displacing displaces the electromagnetic coils from the charging mouth to the rear closure plate, and at a second intensity when said means for mechanically displacing displaces the electromagnetic coils in the opposite direction.
- 6. A method of stirring metal in a continuous casting line, said continuous casting line comprising:
- an ingot mold means having a charging mouth through which to pour the molten metal, side walls, and a rear closure plate through which the metal exits, said ingot mold means having an inclination from 0.degree. to 90.degree.;
- an oscillating means to oscillate said ingot mold means;
- a roller conveyor located immediately downstream of said rear closure plate for receiving the metal;
- a plurality of electromagnetic coils which provide a stirring effect to metal in the ingot mold means, said coils being fixedly located in the side walls of said ingot mold means;
- said method comprising inducing said plurality of coils in a pre-determined progression so as to provide pendular stirring at a first intensity from the charging mouth to the rear closure plate and at a second intensity in the opposite direction.
- 7. A method of stirring metal in a continuous casting line, said continuous casting line comprising:
- an ingot mold means having a charging mouth through which to pour the molten metal, side walls, and a rear closure plate through which the metal exits, said ingot mold means having an inclination from 0.degree. to 90.degree.;
- an oscillating means to oscillate said ingot mold means;
- a roller conveyor located immediately downstream of said rear closure plate for receiving the metal; and
- a plurality of electromagnetic coils which provide a stirring effect to metal in the ingot mold means, said coils being fixedly located in the side walls of said ingot mold means;
- said method comprising inducing said plurality of coils in a pre-determined progression so as to provide pendular stirring of constant intensity from the charging mouth to the rear closure plate and in the opposit direction.
- 8. A method of stirring metal in a continuous casting line, said continuous casting line comprising:
- an ingot mold means having a charging mouth through which to pour the molten metal, side walls, and a rear closure plate through which the metal exists, said ingot mold means having an inclination from 0.degree. to 90.degree.;
- an oscillating means to oscillate said ingot mold means;
- a roller conveyor located immediately downstream of said rear closure plate for receiving the metal; and
- a plurality of electromagnetic coils;
- said method comprising:
- mechanically displacing said electromagnetic coils from the charging mouth to the rear closure plate and back again;
- providing electromagnetic stirring at a first intensity when the electromagnetic coils are displaced from the charging mouth to the rear closure plate; and
- providing electromagnetic stirring at a second intensity when the electromagnetic coils are displaced from the rear closure plate to the charging mouth.
