Optimal control of induction slab heaters after continuous casting taking into consideration not well determined thermal conditions after casting

Authors: Valery Rudnev
Publication: Proceedings of Int. Symposium "Heating by Electromagnetic Sources", Italy
Date: 5/1/2004

Article discusses features of the process control of induction re-heating rectangular/trapezoidal shaped workpieces (for example, slabs, blooms, plates, etc.) after continuous casting operation.

Specifying Induction Wire, Rope and Cable Heating Equipment

Authors: Valery Rudnev, EJR, KS, Peter R. Dickson
Publication: Proceedings of InterWire-2003, Atlanta
Date: 5/1/2003

This presentation discusses essentials of specifying induction heating equipment for wire industry. Special attention will be paid to selection of proper frequency, coil arrangement and power supply when heating ferrous and non-ferrous wires, ropes and cables. Case studies and analysis of typical mistakes is presented in this article, as well as, discussion on peculiarities of computation of induction wire, rope and cable heating processes.

Common Misinterpretations and Confusion Appearing in Induction Heating Publications. Presentation of New Handbook of Induction Heating

Authors: Valery Rudnev

Date: 3/24/2003

During numerous discussions with users of induction heating technology we found that quite often some of them misinterpreted certain interrelated aspects involved in this process. One of the reasons for this is the fact that quite often descriptions of particular phenomena are contained in a variety of internal reports, scientific journals, or literature specializing in a particular (typically quite narrow) area. Some of these materials have been presented in a form that is nearly inaccessible to readers. In the newly published Handbook of Induction Heating, an attempt has been made to continue the tradition of classical texts devoted to this process to educate the wide range of the specialists involved in this technology. Another goal of this handbook is to embark upon the next step in the study and design of modern induction heating processes and equipment. An attempt has been made to bridge the gap between advanced theoretical information and information which is of concrete and practical use to the induction heating practitioners. Thus, there is a hope that this 800-page handbook will serve the industry as a complete contemporary guide to induction heating. Some of the subjects discussed in this handbook are indicated below.

Intricacies of Induction Wire/Cable/Rod Heating

Authors: Valery I. Rudnev, John Powell, KS, Don L. Loveless, Mike S. Rugg
Publication: Publication: Proceedings of 71st Wire & Cable Symposium
Date: 5/1/2001

The intricacies of different design criteria in combination with requirements to boost effectiveness of the production of both ferrous and non-ferrous wires, cables and rods and recent increase in gas prices have resulted in heating by induction becoming the dominant approach to heating wires, cables and rods. This presentation discusses intricacies of induction wire heating including frequency selection, features of heating ferrous and non-ferrous metals, an influence of the system geometry on major process parameters. Some examples of computational modeling as well as commercial induction wire/cable heaters are discussed in this presentation as well.
