- Abstract
During preparation of metal alloys stirring of the melt plays an important role in order to even its chemical composition and temperature in the whole bath volume. It is necessary to create specific convectional streams of metal in the bath for effective stirring. Based on the known analysis of selforganization of convectional streams in the liquid heated from beneath (Rayleigh-Bernard effect), the present article describes a MHD-stirrer which allows receive a similar pattern of streams in the molten melt by using electromagnetic force. We have considered stirring processes in the rectangular bath and a MHD-stirrer which allows increase efficiency and reduce energy costs on the alloy preparation process.
