Abstract
PurposeThis paper aims to deal with the 3D finite element analysis of metallic sheets heating in translating motion through the air gap of an inductor of transverse flux type.Design/methodology/approachThis study presents two finite element based motion coupling techniques used to analyze the transient temperature field of moving metallic sheets heated by induction.FindingsThe numerical results obtained by the two different magneto‐thermal – translating motion coupling techniques proposed in this paper are in good agreement with each other being validated also by experimental measurements.Practical implicationsThe proposed numerical techniques can be used for the design and optimization of transverse flux induction heating systems.Originality/valueAn original solution to improve the transversal thermal profile of the metallic sheet based on the magnetic shielding is proposed and analyzed. The numerical results of the thermal field are validated by experimental measurements.
