3D Numerical Simulation of Electromagnetic Field during Low Frequency Electromagnetic Casting Process

Abstract

The rules of the distribution of magnetic field were carried out by numerical simulation. The distribution of magnetic field was got, and the effects of current intensity and frequency on the distribution of magnetic field were analyzed by constructing three-dimensional finite element model and using ANSYS software which is a kind of commercial FEM analysis software. The results show that the intensity of magnetic field is proportional to current intensity, magnetic field is mainly localized in the surface region of liquid melt and there is a notable edge effect in the corner.
