Abstract
A computer model is developed to simulate the electro-magnetic and the heat-transfer behaviors of the taper heating process. The computer-aided tool can provide the necessary information for design and operation of induction furnaces for taper heating required for isothermal extrusion. A feasibility study of two induction furnace designs is presented. Computer results indicate that the three-zone type furnace can provide the desired taper temperature profiles for the aluminum and the titanium alloys considered. Applications of the computer tool to other types of induction heaters are also discussed.Keywords
