“…The results presented in that paper primarily included the evaporation kinetics, while neglecting the temperature measurements. In addition, Matsuzawa et al [22] collected pictures of the deformation of the processed aluminium at different times. Next, these pictures were compared with the simulation results.…”

“…In consequence, the experimental results presented by these authors are unsuitable for the further validation of the numerical model, especially in case of the industrial-scale CCF systems. Moreover, authors of [22] did not focus on the validation of the thermal analysis that they performed. More detailed analysis of the process was presented in [23].…”

One of the promising technology that guarantee the high-purity of the processed metal is induction skull melting. The quality of the melting process within such a system strongly depends on the cold crucible design. Hence, the experimental investigation of the cold crucible melting was performed. The experimental investigation was performed for various initial mass of the load. The results of that analysis were used for the assessment of the alloy temperature during the process, free surface shape and the area as well as the liquid metal emissivity. The collected results of the thermal analysis showed that the temperature of molten metal increased within the power input increase. Moreover, results of that analysis showed that the characteristic tooth-shaped jags were created mostly at the centre of the cold crucible segments. In addition, experimental results are suitable for the numerical models validation and further investigation of the cold crucible design.

Induction skull melting (ISM) technology could melt metals with avoiding contamination from crucible. A long-standing problem of ISM is that the low charge energy utilization and inhomogeneous fields have obstructed its application in many critical metal materials and manufacturing processes. The present work investigated the problem through the structure optimization strategy and established a numerical electromagnetic-field model to evaluate components’ eddy current loss. Based on the model, the effect of crucible and inductor structure on charge energy utilization, etc. was studied. Furtherly, the charge energy utilization was increased from 27.1 to 45.89% by adjusting the system structure. Moreover, structure modifications are proposed for enhancing electromagnetic intensity and uniformity, charge soft contact and uniform heating. The work constructed a basis for framing new solutions to the problem through ISM device structure optimization.
