ELECTROMAGNETIC CRUCIBLE MELTING FURNACE WITH C-SHAPED MAGNETIC CONDUCTOR AND HORIZONTAL MAGNETIC FLUX Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC F27B14/06 F27D11/12 F27D27/00 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to metallurgy and foundry, in particular, to design features of electromagnetic crucible melting furnaces for melting of casting metals and alloys. The furnace comprises a housing, a crucible with a bath, an inductor coil with turns, a C-shaped magnetic conductor is made solid with the housing, its unlike poles are turned to each other to generate a horizontal magnetic flux, the inductor coil turns are able of embracing the central magnetic conductor part between its poles, and the crucible with the bath is installed between the poles aside the inductor coil.

EFFECT: invention provides for the reduction of losses caused by crucible wear and rejects of cast products as per non-metal inclusions as well as decrease power consumption for melting process, reduce overall dimensions of an installation, improve safety and reliability of the induction crucible furnace.
