Is used for electromagnetic stirring of unsolidified slabs in continuous casting, but when it is used for stirring the metal melt in a container, it has the drawback that a large amount of power cannot be applied because the liquid surface is greatly deformed by rotation. is there. In addition, since the melt behaves almost like a rigid body only with the rotational movement, the mixing of the melt is not sufficient. These problems can be avoided by installing a baffle plate, but melting of the baffle plate becomes a new problem.
