ADVANTAGES OF EMS
It promotes the formation of an equiaxed crystallised zone in strand.
It causes the refinement of the solidification.
It causes reduction in the content of inclusion.
It minimizes the surface and sub surface crack.
It helps to reduce pinhole and blowhole defects.
It reduces centreline segregation.
It helps in breakout reduction.
TYPES OF EMS
Three possible EMS applications according to position
Mould EMS (M-EMS)
Secondary cooling zone EMS (S-EMS)
Final solidification zone EMS (F-EMS)
MOULD EMS (M-EMS):
It is usually installed in the lower part of the mould for stirring of the liquid steel
in the mould.
It is either of round or square design and it can be installed internally or
externally.

Mould EMS (M-EMS)
ADVANTAGES OF M-EMS
The application of M-EMS results into reduction of pinholes, centre porosity and
segregation in cast products.
It improves the solidification structure, reduces the surface roughness and
increases the heat delivery rate.
SECONDARY COOLING ZONE EMS
S-EMS produces a stirring force that pushes the liquid steel horizontally along the
cast product width.
S-EMS is usually used in combination with M-EMS
S-EMS can be either linear or rotary type stirrer.

Secondary Cooling Zone EMS(S-EMS)
ADVANTAGES OF S-EMS
S-EMS promotes the formation of equiaxed structure.
It promotes grain refinement in the cast product and reduces the shrinkage cavity, centre
segregation and internal cracks.
It also removes superheat effectively.
FINAL SOLIDIFICATION ZONE (F-EMS)
F-EMS is generally installed in combination with M-EMS or S-EMS to reduce peaks in
centre Segregation.
F-EMS is particularly efficient when casting high carbon or high alloy steel grades.
