    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing casting bodies in a levitation melting method in which a batch of an electrically conductive material is brought into the sphere of influence of at least one alternating electromagnetic field by means of a starting material having a plurality of pre-separated batches separated by regions of reduced cross-section so that the batch is kept in a state of levitation. The regions are designed in such a way that separation of the pre-separated batches takes place only during melting in an alternating electromagnetic field. The melt is then cast into casting moulds.

    Abstract: A cold crucible induction melting furnace is provided with a plurality of segments separated by a plurality of slits that surround a bottom member which together form the melting chamber. Each lower end of each segment is overlapped with and spaced from a short part of a vertically extending side wall of the bottom member so as to form a horizontal gap there between. A radially and outwardly extending flange protrudes from the bottom member side wall below each segment lower end to form a lower gap there between. An induction coil is disposed around and spaced from an outer face of the segments with a lower end adjacent to each of the lower segment ends and an upper end adjacent to an upper part of each segment that is in turn connected with an adjacent upper segment part to form a short circuited part. The radial thickness of each segment from the upper end of the coil to the lower end of the segments is the same and the magnetic flux generated by the induction coil passing through the lower gap and the horizontal gap provides increased magnetic flux density at least adjacent to the region adjacent to the bottom member and the lower ends of the segments.

    Abstract: A system for damping oscillatory and spinning motions induced in an electromagnetically levitated material. Two opposed field magnets are located orthogonally to the existing levitation coils for providing a DC quadrupole field (cusp field) around the material. The material used for generating the DC quadrupole field must be nonconducting to avoid eddy-current heating and of low magnetic permeability to avoid distorting the induction fields providing the levitation.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for inductively melting a quantity of metal, without having to contain the metal in a crucible, is described. The solid metal to be melted is placed within a first induction coil excited by an alternating current and adapted to provide a greater electromagnetic force towards the lower portion of the quantity of metal. The solid metal rests on a support, having an opening therethrough, which also comprises means for keeping the support at a low temperature relative to the metal as it melts. When energy in the form of the alternating current is provided to the coil, the metal melts from the top downward, but the concentration of electro-magnetic force towards the bottom of the metal causes the liquid metal to retain a cylindrical shape. A non-varying electromagentic field is applied to the quantity of metal to minimize violent stirring of the molten portion of the quantity of metal caused by the time-varying field.

    Abstract: An induction heating coil which is detachably mounted on a holding member of an induction heating device having a chamber receiving at least a portion of the coil, which device is adapted for use in a process of zone melting of a rod of material, characterized by the coil comprising a tube of insulating glasslike material, such as glass or quartz, which is both heat resistant and vacuum-tight, receiving a metal conductor therein. Each end of the coil is provided with an intermediate member of a good conducting material which member is electrically connected to the conductor and is sealed in a vacuum-tight relationship with both the tube of the coil and the holding member of the device. Preferably, a cooling agent such as water is circulated through the tube to cool the metal conductor during a heating operation. To form the seal with the intermediate member, the tube is either provided with a metalized end that is soldered to the intermediate member or the intermediate member is provided with a ring of silicon rubber which is compressed between the tube and intermediate member by an appropriate clamping device.
