FIELD: casting processes and equipment. SUBSTANCE: apparatuses include electrically conductive coil for creating horizontal magnetic field oriented to melt metal in gap. Front portion of coil includes portion of front surface turned towards gap and means for concentrating electric current. Means are in the form of row of vertically spaced finned members mounted on front portion of coil and arranged HORIZONTALLY at lateral sides of front surface behind it. It allows to concentrate electric current and to act upon liquid metal. EFFECT: improved design of apparatus, enhanced efficiency of process. 34 cl, 18 dwg
