An accurate 2D steady state mathematical model for induction heating process is described and additional results of electromagnetic fleld, eddy currents distribution and volumetric heat generation have been computed for a sample setup using a flnite element method. For the calculations, the input voltage of induction coil is set to be 200V with a frequency of 10kHz. It was shown that for the case considered here, the distribution of eddy currents density along the radius/thickness of the workpiece has a damped sinusoidal wave-shaped form.
