Patent ID: 7201211

Claim:
A method for controlling the configuration of movements of a liquid metal poured into a continuous casting mold for metal slabs or other similar flat products by setting a double roll mode in the continuous casting mold, the method comprising: providing a nozzle with lateral outlet ports submerged in the continuous casting mold and that face short walls of the continuous casting mold; supplying the liquid metal to the continuous casting mold though the lateral outlet ports; employing a linear inductor source to generate a traveling magnetic field having a magnetic flux perpendicular to a long wall of the continuous casting mold at a level substantially the same as the lateral outlet ports of the submerged nozzle, a portion of the linear inductor source generating the magnetic field traveling horizontally in a direction going from the nozzle toward each short mold wall, in order to set permanently said double roll mode in the continuous casting mold.
