Abstract: A system and method for producing anharmonic multi-phase currents wherein the harmonic component of an inverter is filtered and superimposed with a series of control pulses to create a control signal. The control signal is fed back to the inverter, causing the inverter to produce anharmonic multi-phase currents.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for eliminating axial porosity accompanied by impurity segregation arising at bulk crystallization of the axial zone of the liquid core of a continuous ingot.

Abstract: Thus, as shown by an exact electrodynamic computation of EMBF and the estimations described above of the velocity of turbulent flows arising due to their effect, application of amplitude- and frequency-modulated helically traveling (rotating and axially traveling) electromagnetic fields in metallurgical and chemical technologies and foundry can considerably increase the hydraulic efficiency of MHD facilities, intensify the processes of heat and mass transfer in technological plants, significantly increase their productivity, considerably decrease energy consumption for the production of metals, alloys, cast articles, and chemical products, and improve their quality.
