2Scope / Description
This part of IEC 60519 applies to:
- installations for electromagnetic (induction) stirring or transport of liquid metals at low frequency;
- installations that influence the pouring process by an electromagnetic field;
- parts directly affected by the electromagnetic stirring, transport or pouring installation.
Examples of application:
- stirring devices for continuous machines, adjoining or being part of arc furnaces, ladles, etc.;
- transport of liquid metal for emptying or filling furnaces, launders or moulds;
- devices to transport liquid metal with simultaneous proportioning of the transported quantity, e.g. for filling (pressure) diecasting machines;
- influencing the ingot surface or the pouring stream enhancing crystallization by means of an electromagnetic field during continuous casting.
This standard shall be read in conjunction with IEC 60519-1.
NOTE - When applying IEC 60519-1 in connection with this standard, the terms "electroheat installation" or "electroheat device" should be replaced by the term "installation for electromagnetic stirring, transport or pouring of liquid metals".
