The Action of an Electromagnetic Force on an Elongated Inclusion in an Electrically Conductive Liquid

Abstract

The impact on the molten metal with electromagnetic forces makes it possible to create specific flows in the metal, which, in turn, are able to concentrate particles of inclusions in a given area, from where they can be removed mechanically. In this case, it is important to determine the shape of the inclusions, which will provide the best efficiency of impact on them with electromagnetic forces. The use of such an effect is possible in the process of crystallization (transfer of partially crystallized small regions of the metal), as well as during the separation of impurities from liquid metals using electromagnetic forces. The work is devoted to a numerical study of the features of the effect of electromagnetic forces on inclusions (in shape that differs from spherical) in an electrically conductive medium.
