【 摘 要 】

The paper describes simulation of induction heating process of ferromagnetic steel, when a full non-linear model is used: a temperature dependent B-H curve is taken into account. The full B(H,T) model is essential to obtain accurate results, which are confirmed by experimental validation. The paper also points out sensitivity of the model to slight variation of magnetic properties of material like Curie temperature, which might vary for steel of different grades. All results in the paper are obtained using open source simulation tools that demonstrates high accuracy compared to experimental results and benchmarked commercial software ANSYS Classic.
