Abstract

An electromagnetic pump for liquid steel was built and subjected to laboratory testing. This pump was a flat linear induction pump whose flow channel was approximately 5/8 by 12 in. in cross section by 51 in. long. This pump was successfully operated with molten stainless steel in a demonstration in which a pressure development of about 9 psi was achieved. Possible areas of application of electromagnetic pumping to steelmaking operations and directions of further development are considered.
