The improvement of steel cleanliness mainly depends on the control of the liquid steel flows in the continuous casting mold. This study investigates the influence of an electromagnetic actuator that generates a static magnetic field in the mold. This field aims to achieve a high confinement of inclusions at the upper part of the caster and influences the heterogeneity of inclusion distribution across the width of the slab. In the steelmaking industry, addressing surface and internal defects in products is crucial to meet quality standards, thus enhancing steel cleanliness is of primary concern. The proposed method involves the installation of an electromagnetic actuator at Sollac Dunkirk on a continuous casting strand, which generates a cross stationary magnetic field with a maximum intensity of 0.32T in a specific slab size. This magnetic field induces Lorentz forces that 'brake' fluid motion, promoting a better dispersion of the kinetic energy of molten steel jets from nozzle ports within the mold. A numerical tool, developed using the PHOENICS finite volume software, is utilized to analyze and predict the expected liquid steel flow patterns under the influence of these magnetic forces.
