Abstract

The paper presents the results of computer simulation for induction melting and preheating of non-ferrous metals in rectangular tanks with conductive walls (metal or graphite). The real heating device was replaced by a flat two-dimensional model with inductor, heat-insulating materials and a tank with melted or preheated metal. Computer programme FLUX2D was used for the calculation of coupled non-linear fields: electromagnetic and temperature ones. Temperature in the walls and in metal as well as basic electric parameters of the heating device were determined.
