Apparatus for oriented solidification of a metal melt cast into a mold shell comprises guide sheets in the liquid metal cooling bath for purposes of controlling the bath flow produced by magnetic fields

摘要

To direct the flow of the metal melt (15) of the cooling bath (11) in the container (12), one or more guide sheets (17, 17a) are located in the space between the circumferential surface of the mold shell (7) and the opposing inner surface of the container. AN ADDITIONAL CLAIM is included for the method for operating this apparatus. The liquid metal (15) of the cooling bath is subjected to magnetic fields generated by coils (14, 14a, 14b) which surround the bath and are supplied with three-phase current.
