Novel Modular Electromagnetic Stirrer Technology for Continuous Aluminium Casting, Furnace, Ladle and Associated Applications

Description

Altek is a world leader in the extraction of molten aluminium from dross either by direct draw off or through the use of rotary furnaces. The company are also world leaders in developing & applying electromagnetic stirring into furnaces & ladles & refining/holding furnace installations in the aluminium production industry. Altek is proposing to develop advanced & more compact electromagneto hydrodynamic technologies & devices for application in electromagnetic stirring technology that can deliver an advanced level of aluminium melting, pouring & semi-finished product processing performance providing circulatory benefits including higher productivity with reduced fuel consumption & dross generation. Additionally the electromagneto hydrodynamic) technologies would be utilised as a retrofit unit to be employed on continuous casting lines to modify the metallurgical grain structure & reduce alloy element segregation & porosity to provide improved performance in both high technical specification alloys for aerospace as well as proprietary alloys that require subsequent thermo-mechanical processing into final products ranging from extrusion to rolling. This advancement would provide real economic & environmental benefits to aluminium smelters, primary & secondary aluminium producers.
