Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is an apparatus for producing a semi-solid metal material by charging molten metal of a metal material into a slurry container, the apparatus including: an electromagnetic stirring device configured to apply a transverse circular flow to the molten metal in the slurry container by electromagnetic stirring; and a flow suppressing unit configured to suppress a flow of the molten metal by applying turbulence to the transverse circular flow of the molten metal under a state in which the flow suppressing unit is inserted into the molten metal from above the slurry container so as to cross the transverse circular flow of the molten metal.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A method of producing a semi-solid metal material by charging molten metal of a metal material into a slurry container, the method comprising: applying a transverse circular flow to the molten metal in the slurry container by electromagnetic stirring; and suppressing a flow of the molten metal by applying turbulence to the transverse circular flow of the molten metal with a flow suppressing unit in a state of being inserted into the molten metal from above the slurry container so as to cross the transverse circular flow of the molten metal. 2 . A method of producing a semi-solid metal material according to claim 1 , wherein the flow suppressing unit is arranged in a vicinity of an inlet for the transverse circular flow of the molten metal to a small-diameter portion of the slurry container. 3 . An apparatus for producing a semi-solid metal material by charging molten metal of a metal material into a slurry container, the apparatus comprising: an electromagnetic stirring device configured to apply a transverse circular flow to the molten metal in the slurry container by electromagnetic stirring; and a flow suppressing unit configured to suppress a flow of the molten metal by applying turbulence to the transverse circular flow of the molten metal under a state in which the flow suppressing unit is inserted into the molten metal from above the slurry container so as to cross the transverse circular flow of the molten metal. 4 . An apparatus for producing a semi-solid metal material according to claim 3 , wherein the flow suppressing unit is arranged in a vicinity of an inlet for the transverse circular flow of the molten metal to a small-diameter portion of the slurry container. 5 . An apparatus for producing a semi-solid metal material according to claim 3 , wherein the flow suppressing unit comprises a bar-like member to be brought into the state of being inserted into the molten metal. 6 . An apparatus for producing a semi-solid metal material according to claim 5 , wherein the bar-like member comprises a plurality of bar-like members. 7 . An apparatus for producing a semi-solid metal material according to claim 3 , wherein the bar-like member has a space secured therein, and wherein the bar-like member comprises at least one of a temperature sensor or a heating unit arranged in the space.
