Numerical simulations of continuous induction heating of magnetic billets and sheets

Abstract

The relative motion between the inductor and the work‐piece to be heated, the magnetic non‐linearity and the dependence of physical properties on temperature are considered in the numerical simulations of continuous transverse flux induction heating of metallic sheets and scanning type induction heating of billets. Using the translating air‐gap technique, the transient and the steady state electromagnetic and thermal fields are evaluated.
