https://doi.org/10.21122/1683-6065-2025-3-19-23

Abstract

The article outlines the advantages of medium‑frequency induction crucible furnaces in comparison with industrial‑ frequency furnaces. It presents the economic efficiency achieved by transitioning from industrial‑frequency induction furnaces to medium‑frequency units. Additionally, the paper describes the method of multi‑station melting, highlighting improvements in energy efficiency, metal quality, and production flexibility.
