Inductive Melting and Holding

The second, fully revised edition of this standard work presents the latest advances in induction melting and temperature maintenance for foundries and melting shops. Covering crucible and channel furnaces, electromagnetic stirrers, and energy-efficient plant design, it addresses melting metallurgy for iron and non-ferrous materials. Applications include steel production in mini steelworks, as well as aluminum, copper, and zinc melting. Updates reflect the significant increase in inverter supply power, making induction furnaces a competitive and environmentally friendly alternative to electric arc furnaces. This essential guide is aimed at engineers, technicians, and practitioners seeking in-depth practical and technical knowledge.
