Tundish for continuous casting

A method of stirring a molten metal in a tundish having

• a tundish body provided with an inlet portion having an inlet for molten metal, an outlet portion having at least one outlet, a flow separator, and an EMS stirrer for electromagnetic stirring, wherein,
• the flow separator is positioned between the inlet portion and the outlet portion
• the EMS stirrer is disposed horizontally, outside of the tundish,
• the method comprising stirring the molten metal in the outlet portion to flow in a horizontal direction, and so that the flow which is directly induced by the EMS stirrer flows away from the inlet.

A Use of an EMS stirrer for electromagnetic stirring of a molten metal in a tundish for continuous casting, the tundish having an inner volume comprising:

• an inlet portion having an inlet for receiving molten metal, an outlet portion including at least one outlet for discharging molten metal, and a flow separator,
• the flow separator being positioned between the inlet portion and the outlet portion, wherein
• the EMS stirrer is disposed outside of the tundish, at a vertical position below the top of the inner volume of the tundish and above the bottom of the inner volume of the tundish,
• the EMS stirrer is disposed to make the molten metal in the outlet portion flow in a horizontal direction, and
• the flow which is directly induced by the EMS stirrer flows away from the inlet.
