Abstract

A physical and mathematical model is formulated to determine the axial component of the magnetic field
intensity vector and the specific density of Joule heat in a non-ferromagnetic steel shaft during its induction
heat treatment under an unsteady electromagnetic field. The initial-boundary relationships for the
electrodynamic problem of the shaft are recorded. The axial component of the magnetic field intensity vector
is selected as the governing function. To find the solution, a cubic approximation with respect to the radial
coordinate for the distribution of the governing function along the radius of the shaft is applied. As a result,
the initial-boundary problem for the governing function is reduced to a Cauchy problem in time for the
integral characteristics of the governing function in terms of the radial variable. Using the Laplace integral
transform, expressions for the integral characteristics and the axial component of the magnetic field intensity
vector are derived. The expressions for the governing function and Joule heat in the shaft under induction
heating in a unsteady electromagnetic field are obtained. A numerical analysis is performed on the time
evolution and radial distribution of the axial component of the magnetic field intensity vector and Joule heat,
depending on the duration of the unsteady electromagnetic field.
