Abstract
This work begins with a summary of the characteristics of electromagnetic casting and the present knowledge of the subject. Also described is the use of new local measurement techniques for velocity, magnetic field, current density, and phase difference, which allow experimental investigation of the flow of molten metal in industrial equipment (up to 700 °C) in the presence or absence of an induction magnetic field. Next, these methods are applied to the study of electromagnetic and hydrodynamic phenomena, inside the sumps of both rectangular and circular cross-section ingots of aluminum alloys cast in electromagnetic molds. The important shield effect as a function of the screen location is studied by means of a mercury pool simulating electromagnetic casting.
