Abstract—Industrial continuous casting machines in Russia mainly employ imported electromagnetic-stirring systems located outside the mold. In case of breakage, the stators of such stirreres must be sent back to the manufacturer for repair. To decrease import dependence, an electromagnetic-stirring system that may be completely dismantled has been developed at the Russian Research Institute of Metallurgical Machinery. This design permits preventive maintenance and repairs in the plant’s electrical shop, without the need for expensive materials or equipment.
