Abstract
Electromagnetic levitation and heating of small (0.5 to 1.0 gm) samples of Cu, Ni, and Ni-base al-loys were performed in inert atmospheres. These experiments were recorded by high speed photog-raphy using both regular film and video methods. Initial studies revealed interesting dynamics of the droplets that included axisymmetric oscillation, rotation, and oscillation mode changes. An attempt was made to explain the behavior using available models.
