• Resumen

  • Induction furnaces are important in the production of steel iron parts mostly nodular iron casting, due its system allows a homogeneous mixture of the alloy elements causing few defects due to changes in the structure of the product.

    A problem of melting furnaces is the wear of refractory material due to causes such as thermal shock, and direct contact with molten slag and liquid metal. Also, the drag of refractory by the movement of the cast as one of the causes of wear of the crucible is handled. This means that a higher speed could causes greater wear.

    To observe the speeds that are developed in an induction furnace used in the production of nodular iron, a MHD simulation using Ansys ® program was made. The results vary depending on the data fed to the program. For a power of 7 MW, 2 kV voltage and frequency of 240 Hz, speed is 6.9x10 -2 m/s.
