The continuous steel casting process has gained prominence in the steel industry due to its efficiency. This study aims to investigate the influence of magnetic fields on the convection of molten steel within molds, as this convection is critical for the quality of the resulting solidified products. Employing both experimental and computational methods, the research analyzed the effects of different magnetic field configurations on secondary flows and solidification rates in square cross-section molds. The oscillatory flow characteristics of molten steel, exacerbated by a low Prandtl number, were found to impede uniform solidification. The application of magnetic fields demonstrated a potential for mitigating these oscillations, thus facilitating improved product quality. Key findings reveal that specific arrangements of the magnetic field can influence the flow patterns and ultimately the solidification process, although the optimal configurations may vary across different steel manufacturers. This research provides insight into how magnetic fields can be effectively utilized in industrial applications to enhance the quality of steel products. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of understanding the interplay between hydrodynamics and electromagnetic forces in continuous casting processes.
