Recent Applications and Future Development Trends in Electromagnetic Processing of Metals and Non-Metallic Materials

摘要

A wide range of industrial metallurgical heating and melting processes are carried out using electrothermal and electromagnetic technologies.The application of electromagnetic processing offers many advantages from technological,ecological and economical point of view.Although the technology level of the electromagnetic heating and melting installations and processes used in the industry today is very high,there are still potentials for improvement and optimization.In this paper recent applications and future development trends for efficient use of electromagnetic processing technologies in metallurgical and non-metallic material processes are described along selected examples in the field of heating for melting,forging,joining and solidification.
