Abstract
A new type of EMBr, named Vertical-Combine Electromagnetic Brake (VC-EMBr) was introduced to investigate its applicability and adaptability. The characteristics of electromagnetic field and flow field inside a 1500 mm × 70 mm funnel shape mold with Ruler-EMBr and VC-EMBr have been compared. The simulation results indicate that in the funnel shape mold of thin slab continuous casting, the static magnetic field generated by Ruler-EMBr can cover the entire wide faces of the funnel shape mold, which can produce a breaking effect directly on the discharging jet flow. The static magnetic field generated by VC-EMBr can control both the funnel shape mold narrow faces and the impingement region of jet flow, which can effectively restrain the molten steel flow in the upper recirculation zone.
