MOLTEN METAL LEVEL CONTROL IN CONTINUOUS CASTING

ABSTRACT This invention is directed to the process and system for controlling the level of molten metal in a plurality of vertically oriented, continuous or semi-continuous casting units, particularly electromagnetic casting units. The flows of molten metal to the indiv-idual casting units are adjus...

More Information
Summary:ABSTRACT This invention is directed to the process and system for controlling the level of molten metal in a plurality of vertically oriented, continuous or semi-continuous casting units, particularly electromagnetic casting units. The flows of molten metal to the indiv-idual casting units are adjusted automatically in response to a control set point signal from a master controller in order to maintain essentially the same molten metal level in all of the casting units. Improved startup and termin-ation procedures are also given.
