Purpose: The continuous casting process is controlled automatically because various sensors and control units are connected to the mold and lower tundish roll. The solidification point in the process has a major factor on the quality of products, but the point has been predicted depending on the inaccurate calculated results from a computer simulation until now. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to develop the EMAT sensors for the measurement of the solidification point made by a through transmission technique based on the relationship between ultrasonic speed and measured temperature. Design/methodology/approach: The EMAT sensor is composed of an Elongated Spiral (ES) forming an eddy current and a permanent magnetic core generating a static magnetic field. ES coils of the sensor to measure 0.08mm, 0.2mm and 0.45mm as solidification points were employed respectively. Probes for receiving and transmitting which included 4 permanent magnets measuring 5 x 5 x 10mm, were placed together in one unit. Each coil was used to magnetic cores measuring 0.08mm and 0.45mm wound around it forty three times. The AI 75 x 75mm and 75 x 100mm simulators to identify whether the solidification point can be detected using an EMAT sensor, were machined with 2mm, 4mm, 8mm, 16mm and 32mm holes in diameter respectively. Findings: The electromagnetic interaction decreases in a high sphere of lift-off. Solidification point in a continuous casting processing could be detected through a series of tests with the use of a fabricated probe and the amplitude extent of ultrasonic wave decreases as the hole diameter of the simulators increases, Furthermore, the sensor developed is useful for measuring things such as lift-off. Research limitations/implications: A considerable amount of time and energy for miniaturization of the sensor and construction of an on-line system for a field installation should be saved by reducing mistake ratio and curtailing unnecessary processes. Originality/value: The solidification point in a continuous casting processing could be detected through a series of tests with the use of the developed EMAT sensor.
