Claims
- 1. A continuous casting mold stirring method for a continuous casting mold of slab cross section having wide side walls and narrow edge walls and containing a body of molten metal maintained by molten metal poured from above the mold through a pipe having a lower end provided with outlets pointing angularly downwardly towards the mold's narrow edge walls and immersed in the upper portion of said body of molten metal so as to inject therein molten metal streams traveling towards the mold's narrow edge walls; wherein the improvement comprises for each of said streams projecting at least one stationary static magnetic field of constant direction through the mold's wide side walls from their outside and into said body and transversely through the stream so as to abruptly reduce the stream's velocity and momentum when in said field with an effect similar to that of an eddy current brake and cause the stream's portion traveling towards said field to push against the stream's portion in said field and split or break up into smaller streams which stir into said body.
- 2. The method of claim 1 in which said field has an oblong cross section and is substantially horizontal and forms an acute angle with the stream in its field so as to cause said smaller streams to flow upwardly towards the upper level of said body and carry heat thereto.
