Abstract :
The improvement of steel cleanliness mainly depends on the control of the liquid steel flows in the continuous casting mold. This paper describes the influence on steel flows of an electromagnetic actuator which generates a static magnetic field in the mold. This field leads to a high confinement of the inclusions in the upper part of the caster and tends to increase the heterogeneity of the inclusion distribution in the widthwise direction of the slab
