SMS Elotherm / Stirring

Induction stirring technology

To define a single process with a high degree of accuracy it is essential to have the experience and capabilities to understand the complexity of the entire system. One particular example of this is SMS Elotherm's induction stirring of aluminum alloys and the subsequent thixotropic forming stage.

Here, two technological applications that must be ideally matched to each other are merged. SMS Elotherm's electromagnetic stirrer - already a worldwide standard in the continuous casting of steel - has been redesigned with helicoidal
stirrers for non-ferrous metals as a precondition for the innovative application of thixotropic forming technology. This system guarantees that the aluminum alloy has the ideal fine-grained structure for subsequent forming.
