Systems and methods of pre-ageing of a metal strip during metal processing include passing the metal strip adjacent a magnetic rotor of a reheater. The systems and methods also include heating the metal strip through the magnetic rotor by rotating the magnetic rotor. Rotating the magnetic rotor induces a magnetic field into the metal strip such that the metal strip is heated.

The invention relates to a levitation melting process and a device for producing castings with movable induction units. In this process, induction units are used in which the opposite ferrite poles with the induction coils are movable and move in opposite directions. In this way, the induction units for melting the batches can be arranged close together in order to increase the efficiency of the induced magnetic field. When casting the molten batch, the induced magnetic field is reduced by increasing the distance between the ferrite poles with the induction coils, thus preventing the melt from touching the ferrite poles or the induction coils.

The invention relates to a levitation melting process and an apparatus for producing castings comprising a ring-shaped element of a conductive material for introducing the casting of a molten batch into a casting mould. In the process, the ring-shaped element is introduced into the region of the alternating electromagnetic field between the induction coils in order to cast the molten batch, thereby initiating a targeted run-off of the melt into the casting mould by influencing the induced magnetic field.
