The book presents the current state-of-the-art of inductive melting technology as it is deployed in manufacturing and processing metal. Nowaday the energy efficiency of process heating plants is the new challenge for industrial furnaces. The work focuses mainly on the metallurgical processes involved in melting, holding and pouring using induction systems. The fundamentals of inductive powe transmission and the design of induction plants are described to the extent necessary to understand the production process. Color images illustrate the topics. The book provides support not only for the specialists, but also for students in reseach, development and practical applications.
