Abstract
The necessity to process chemically reactive metals makes the cold wall crucible an attractive alternative to conventional furnaces, even for materials with a melting point of 2500◦ C and higher. A significant research work in this field is though missing. In this paper, steps conducing to melting high-melting temperature metals (niobium, in this case) by electromagnetic induction are described. Multiphysical numerical simulations were successfully validated for aluminium and titanium-aluminium alloy. In the case of niobium, authors evidence some differences between numerical and experimental results, and limits of the induction melting setup are examined for future improvements.
