    摘要: A metal delivery system for a casting system includes a spout having a spout passageway extending through the spout with an elongated slot as a bottom orifice. A bottom control pin is positionable within the spout and is movable between a closed position and an open position. In certain aspects, in the closed position, the bottom control pin engages a portion of a surface of the passageway proximate to the bottom orifice.

    摘要: Systems and methods may utilize magnetic rotors to heat molten metal in the corner regions of a mold during casting (e.g., casting of an ingot, billet, or slab). The magnetic rotors are positioned adjacent to the corners of the mold and heat the molten metal in the corner region to increase the temperature of the molten metal adjacent the corners. The increased temperature of the molten metal in the mold corners can prevent intermetallics from forming in the molten metal or otherwise reduce such formation.
