Every ingot cast shop makes an effort to reduce the costs and to increase the productivity. The MHD stirrer is an adequate tool to achieve a more economical production. The electromagnetic stirrer accelerates the melting rate of the charge, reduces the metal loss and improves the consistency of ingot quality. The Ingot Business Unit of ALCOA-KOFEM operates seven melting furnaces. Each furnace is equipped with a POTOK type MHD induction stirrer in order to achieve a more profitable melting operation. Magnetohydrodynamic stirrers were installed between 1988 and 1990 on melting furnaces ranging in capacity from 25 to 60 tons of molten metal.
