The electromagnetic stirrers(EMS) are used in the continuous casting process to improve the product quality and to increase the steel production. According to the position along the casting strand and metallurgical effects, stirrers can be classified mold, strand and final stirrers. The benefits obtained using one or more EMS in combination include surface and sub-surface quality, internal and central soundness as segregation, porosity and central cracks.

Functions:

• Surface and sub-surface quality enhancement;

• Solidification structure improvement;

• Production increase;

• New steel grade production;

• Production rejection reduction.
