Magnetic brake for continuous casting molds

Abstract

The invention relates to a continuous casting mold, in particular a thin slab mold in which the flow of a liquid metal in the mold is influenced by a magnetic field generated by permanent magnets, wherein the permanent magnets have, over the width and/or height thereof, different magnetic strengths or are spaced from each other by different distances for a different field strength. To provide for variation of the magnetic field strength, the permanent magnets are differently adjusted in groups for changing a field strength distribution.

       9 . A continuous casting mold, in particular a thin slab mold in which permanent magnets are mounted on a mold for influencing the flow of a liquid metal in the mold by a generated magnetic field, wherein the permanent magnets have, over the width and/or height thereof, different magnetic strengths or are spaced from each other by different distances for a different field strength and for a different field strength distribution, are differently displaceable in groups over the mold, and wherein the permanent magnets are arranged in a water box of the continuous casting mold and are placed so that they are directly abut the mold, 
 characterized in that    the permanent magnets are displaceable on pivotable adjusting means on the mold for adaptation of field strength.    
   
   
       10 . A continuous casting mold according to  claim 9 , 
 characterized in that    adjusting means for the permanent magnets is formed as rotating devices or rotating spindles.
