The core-less induction furnace used for melting is composed of a refractory container capable of holding the molten bath which is surrounded by water cooled helical coil connected to a source of alternating current. The furnace lining is made of up Silica to withstand the slag condition of mild steel or any plain carbon steel that is acidic in nature. After melting,the furnace is tilted to remove the slag and other impurities that come to the surface of molten metal.
