Abstract: The comprehensive three-dimensional mathematical model proposed in Part 1 is used to investigate the effect of rotating electromagnetic stirring on the solidification process of copper hollow billet during horizontal continuous casting. In this part, the model is used to investigate the effects of electromagnetic parameters and casting speed on the electromagnetic field, temperature field, fluid flow and solidification during the horizontal continuous casting with rotating electromagnetic stirring. The results show that electromagnetic frequency, current intensity and casting speed have significant influence on the tangential velocity, temperature gradient, liquid fraction and sump depth.
