In September of 1984, the R D Center entered into a 3-year contract to develop a magnetofluidynamically enhanced feeding system. This report describes the work conducted under this contract. A design for an MFD device to enhance the feeding system of a horizontal steel caster was conceived, analyzed, and successfully tested with a low melting point liquid metal. Difficulties with integrating the device into an existing demonstration caster led to a decision to forego MFD feeding enhancement. All work on the DOE contract was stopped in 1987 upon commercial demonstration of a vertical thin section steel caster. 27 refs., 89 figs., 20 tabs.
