ON THE POTENTIAL USE OF HIGH-FREQUENCY IRRADIATION OF MELTS IN FOUNDRY AND METALLURGICAL PRACTICE

Theoretical analysis demonstrated that superposition or microwave radi ation during control of temperature conditions in melting furnaces is accompanied by vortical microprocesses in the melt. This makes it poss ible to boost: the melting process in induction furnaces not at the ex pense of overheating the melt. but rather under the action of soft the rmal modes typical of microwave furnaces. High frequency irradiation o f melts while pouring into molds upgrades the ingots and cuts foundry losses of metal.
