Numerical Simulation of Electromagnetic Stirrer with Magnetic Core Made Soft Magnetic Composite

Paper presents results of numerical simulation of an induction stirrer with a traveling magnetic field, the magnetic core of which is made of a iron-based soft magnetic composite. Material magnetic properties were calculated by the analytical method. Numerical model includes an frequency domain electromagnetic problem, which takes into account the magnetization curve of magnetic core material. The integral tangential Lorentz force was chosen as the estimation parameter. A comparison of the calculation results for magnetic cores made of soft magnetic composite and electrical steel was made.
