Magnetic field distribution in the electromagnetic feeding riser of rectangle steel ingot

Abstract

The electromagnetic feeding method was used to improve solidification quality of steel ingot, and the feeding principle of electromagnetic riser was introduced. The distribution characteristics of magnetic field in electromagnetic riser were investigated before and after pouring steel by the measures of numerical and physical simulation. The results showed that there’s a good symmetry of magnetic field distribution in electromagnetic feeding riser before pouring steel, but both symmetry and uniformity of magnetic field distribution are broken after pouring steel into riser, and magnetic induction intensity of the surface is higher than that of the inner of feeding riser.
