Abstract

In a method in which a metal is melted and levitated on a cooled support 13 by h.f. induction from a coil 16 in an evacuated chamber 11, insoluble impurities within the metal migrate to the surface, assisted by the spinning action of the coil’s magnetic field on the melt. Reduction of the field solidifies the melt hence the impurities may be removed by chemical or mechanical means and the process repeated. In an alternative arrangement of the apparatus, Fig. 3 (not shown), a cooled condensation chamber may be situated inside the coil and the apparatus used for distillation.
