Electromagnetic field distribution in an induction furnace with cold crucible

Purification of metallurgical silicon through directional solidification in a large cold crucible

“…The cold crucible melting is basically an induction heating of electrically conductive melt by an alternating electromagnetic field [27,28]. By Ampere's law, the current flowing through an induction coil placed around the cold crucible generates a magnetic field.…”

A Model for Homogenization of Solid Alloying Admixtures in an Induction Crucible Furnace

“…Melting and stirring processes in ICF have been studied for a long time . The flow of liquid metal in the ICF is created in the following way.…”

“…Melting and stirring processes in ICF have been studied for a long time. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] The flow of liquid metal in the ICF is created in the following way. Alternating current in an inductor creates a magnetic field and simultaneously induces alternating current in the conductive liquid.…”

Quantitative analysis of the damping of magnet oscillations by eddy currents in aluminum foil

“…9 Nowadays, eddy currents in technical applications are normally analyzed by numerical methods; examples include numerical modeling of eddy currents in single silicon crystal growth 10 and numerical modeling of inductive melting in a cold crucible. 11 An extensive summary of the analytical calculations of eddy currents in thin conducting sheets and their applications to electromagnetic shielding and magnetic levitation was given by Saslow 12 in 1992. Among other elements, the parallel movements of a magnet monopole above a thin conducting sheet and magnet monopole above a thin rotating disc (Arago's experiment) are considered and the formulas for the drag and lift forces acting on the monopole are derived.…”
