Abstract : This paper is intended to address the study and analysis of the efficiency of the process induction melting of metal oxides in cold crucible based in mathematical models. Experimental set up and computer software tools such as ANSYS and Microsoft excel computational tools were used for obtaining data and the analysis. Some reviews were studied to obtain references and more details for the analysis.

Keywords : Cold Crucible, Induction Melting, Oxides, Analysis, Efficiency, Mathematical Modelling.
