Abstract

In this paper, an accurate numerical model of coupled phenomena in an induction furnace applied in the modern metallurgy industry was formulated. In addition, an examination of material properties’ influence on the melting process and the free surface shape in an induction furnace with a ceramic crucible was performed. The results showed insignificant influence of the most important properties on the free surface shape of the molten metal.
