Despite its advantages, levitation melting, already proposed in the 1920s, has not yet found significant use in industrial conditions. This is due to the nature of the electromagnetic field used in previously developed devices. The disappearance of this field in the system axis causes overcoming, in the case of larger charges, surface tension forces and metal leakage from the device. The article contains a comparative analysis of a conventional solution and a newly developed levitation melting device, whose completely different design eliminates the previous weight limit of the charge.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Numerical Model of Large-Scale Levitation Melting Process}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/111330/PDF/AMM-2019-2-33-Panic.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2019.127590}, keywords={levitation melting, reactive metals, numerical modelling}, }
