Abstract
A mathematical model is developed for the prediction of magnetic potential using Maxwell’s equations and finite element method is used to find the magnetic potential distribution within the gap between tool bottom surface and workpiece top surface. From magnetic potential model, the magnetic pressure developed and corresponding heat flux generated on workpiece surface are evaluated. Further a mathematical model is developed for heat transfer in the workpiece and again finite element method is used for the prediction of temperature rise in the workpiece. The effects of various operating input parameter on magnetic potential distribution in the gap and temperature rise in the workpiece has been studied.
