Electromagnetic Control of the Meniscus Shape during Casting in a
High-frequency Magnetic Field
In
cooperation with the Process Technology
Research Laboratories,
Nippon Steel Corporation, (Dr. E. Takeuchi and Dr. T.Toh)
·
The meniscus of a Sn-10%Pb charge inside a Cold
Crucible device was shaped utilising a high frequency electromagnetic field.
·
The equilibrium shape and stability of the
meniscus was experimentally measured and compared with the predicted results
from the mathematical model.
