In a device for controlling a flow of metal from a casting vessel into a casting mould, the inflow of metal is to be controlled by means of a stopper, which may be lifted and lowered according to a preset program and/or by means of a bath-level measuring device. In order to prevent any manual operation of a control lever for the stopper, a lifting rod for the stopper is disposed in a module box together with a vertical guide and a computer-controlled electromechanical drive for the lifting rod. The module box is exchangeably fastened to the casting vessel by clamping elements. Before casting begins, a drive motor for the stopper (13) is to be connected by means of electric plug-and-socket connections to a control cabinet. From the start of casting, the stopper movement is controllable exclusively by means of the electric drive.

Process and device for casting thin strip or foil from the melt

In a method for electromagnetically regulating flow and in an apparatus for performing the method, a molten metal flowing in a pouring tube is inhibited in a central region of the pouring tube by an insert member installed in a conduit of the pouring tube and is diverted radially outward. An electromagnetic coil is arranged concentrically about the pouring tube for exerting constrictive electromagnetic forces upon the molten metal and thus regulating the flow of molten metal in a wide range.

Method for regulating the flow of an electrically conductive fluid,

To obtain a short adjustment time with small risk of metal break-out, it is intended during the changing of the dimensions of a continuously cast strand to alter during the casting operation i.e. while the pour or teeming operation is in progress, at least during a time interval of the pivotal movement of the mold wall, the mutual relationship of the displacement speeds of two devices for moving the mold wall and the position of the pivot axis of the mold wall is shifted parallel to its starting position.

Method for changing the dimensions of a strand during continuous casting

During the continuous casting of at least two strands, withdrawn with the same speed from the continuous casting molds, the withdrawal speed for both strands should be adjusted in accordance with the quantity of cast metal, typically steel, infed to the first continuous casting mold i.e. also the level of molten metal therein. The infed quantity of steel is regulated in at least one further continuous casting mold as a function of such withdrawal speed or velocity.

Method and apparatus for continuous casting of a number of strands

The strand guide arrangement or roller apron of a continuous casting installation is measured with the aid of a measuring device. The mutual spacing of the roller apron tracks are determined by the measuring device, the obtained measurements results, during the passage of the measuring device through the strand guide arrangement, is initially stored and then recalled after passage of the measuring device has been completed.
