Resumen:

In the present work, the electromagneticElectromagnetism effect in a steel refining ladle has been analyzed using three-dimensional mathematical simulation by use of the finite element method (FEM), varying the shape of the stirrer (straight and cylindrical coil systemCoil system), as well as the use of two stirrers with straight geometry. The effect of the phase change, as well as the current intensity per winding in the different agitator coil systemsCoil system were analyzed for the generation of a traveling magnetic fieldTraveling magnetic field, obtaining that the agitator with cylindrical geometry is the one that presents the highest magnetic flux densityMagnetic flux density of the order of 0.11 T, compared to other agitators. Therefore, obtaining a greater magnitude of volumetric Lorentz force, and expecting a higher fluid velocity and consequently shorter mixing times compared to the other stirring systems. The results obtained in the case of a straight geometry agitator correspond with the results reported in the literature. © The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society 2025.
