Additional information
Sampling molten metal to assess the level of impurities without interrupting the manufacturing process is important for industry. Collaboration with the National Physical Laboratory [contact: R.Brooks@NPL], evaluated this new sampling technique: metal is collected in a small crucible surrounded by an induction coil; electromagnetic Kolin-Leenov forces separate impurities to the surface where they can be counted. Our spectral code SPHINX was used to verify this concept and the process was presented to an industrial club by NPL. This beginning led to EU FP7 projects EXOMET (€19M/€400k) for MMNC production and SIKELOR (€4M/€309k) for silicon recycling from kerf.
