Research activities at the Institute of Electrotechnology in the field of Metallurgical Melting processes

摘要

A wide range of industrial metallurgical melting processes are carried out using electrothermal and electromagnetic technologies. The application of electrotechnologies offers many advantages from technological, ecological and economical point of view. Although the technology level of the electromagnetic 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 melting processes are described along selected examples which are part of the research activities of the Institute of Electrotechnology of the Leibniz University of Hannover.
