In this paper, a drip- and leakage-free approach for electromagnetic (EM) levitation melting of metallic samples in horizontal and orthogonal two-frequency fields is studied further. Numerical simulation is used to design an experimental furnace for a stable levitation melting of aluminum samples with increased weight. The scale-up of the method is validated by experiments with aluminum (Al) samples up to 0.5 kg.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
