New Technology for Electromagnetic Levitation Melting of Metals

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper a new drip-and leakage-free method for the electromagnetic levitation melting of metallic samples with greater weights, stabilized position and free surface shape is presented. The method can be used in a melting furnace, as well as for the coreless induction valves applied for the flow rate control, e.g. in the continuous casting of molten metals.The applicability of the method was examined numerically and experimentally proved by tests conducted with different types of laboratory setups.
