Abstract

LA PRESENTE INVENTION CONCERNE UN PROCEDE DE COULEE EN MOULE METALLIQUE OU EN COQUILLE D'UN METAL OU ALLIAGE FONDU, SELON LEQUEL LE METAL EST REFROIDI DANS DES CONDITIONS CONTROLEES PENDANT QU'IL EST BRASSE PAR DES FORCES MAGNETOMOTRICES DUES A UN CHAMP D'INDUCTION MAGNETIQUE VARIABLE, ET UN APPAREILLAGE PERMETTANT LA MISE EN OEUVRE DE CE PROCEDE. UN CHAMP MAGNETIQUE NON NUL EN TOUT POINT DU VOLUME DETERMINE PAR LE FRONT DE SOLIDIFICATION 35 DU METAL DANS LE MOULE 11 EST CREE PAR UN STATOR 27 DE MOTEUR A INDUCTION BIPOLAIRE QUI EST MONTE AUTOUR DU MOULE SOUS LE SYSTEME DE REFROIDISSEMENT 20. UN TEL CHAMP CREE DES FORCES DE CISAILLEMENT QUI REDUISENT LA CROISSANCE ET LA LIAISON DES DENDRITES PRIMAIRES DES PHASES SOLIDES POUR FORMER UNE STRUCTURE A GRAINS TRES FINS EN SUSPENSION DANS UNE MATRICE LIQUIDE, DITE STRUCTURE "THIXOTROPE", JUSQU'AU FRONT DE SOLIDIFICATION 35. L'INVENTION S'APPLIQUE NOTAMMENT A LA COULEE CONTINUE OU SEMI-CONTINUE DE TOUS METAUX OU ALLIAGES.THE PRESENT INVENTION CONCERNS A PROCESS FOR CASTING IN A METAL MOLD OR SHELL OF A MELTED METAL OR ALLOY, ACCORDING TO WHICH THE METAL IS COOLED UNDER CONTROLLED CONDITIONS WHILE IT IS BRUSHED BY MAGNETOMOTOR FORCES DUE TO A MAGNETIC FIELD OF FLOOR VARIABLE, AND AN APPARATUS ALLOWING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROCESS. A NON-ZERO MAGNETIC FIELD AT ANY POINT OF THE VOLUME DETERMINED BY THE SOLIDIFICATION FRONT 35 OF THE METAL IN THE MOLD 11 IS CREATED BY A STATOR 27 OF A BIPOLAR INDUCTION MOTOR WHICH IS MOUNTED AROUND THE MOLD UNDER THE COOLING SYSTEM 20. SUCH A FIELD CREATES SHEAR FORCES WHICH REDUCE THE GROWTH AND BINDING OF PRIMARY DENDRITES IN THE SOLID PHASES TO FORM A VERY FINE GRAIN STRUCTURE IN SUSPENSION IN A LIQUID MATRIX, CALLED "THIXOTROPIC" STRUCTURE, UP TO THE FRONT OF SOLIDIFICATION 35. APPLIES IN PARTICULAR TO THE CONTINUOUS OR SEMI-CONTINUOUS CASTING OF ALL METALS OR ALLOYS.
