Abstract
In continuous casting, the flow structure of the liquid steel in the mould and the two-phase distribution in the submerged
entry nozzle (SEN) are crucial for the quality of the produced steel. In order to effectively control the flow in the mould
by electromagnetic brakes (EMBrs) and the injection of gas into the SEN, even a rough knowledge of the flow structure
would be very helpful. In the framework of the TOMOCON project, the contactless inductive flow tomography (CIFT)
and the mutual inductance tomography (MIT) will be integrated into a control loop for slab casters. This control loop
will be developed and implemented at the Mini-LIMMCAST facility, which is available at the Helmholtz-Zentrum
Dresden – Rossendorf. In this paper a short overview of this project will be given.
