Popis: This paper outlines our effort to optimize PMO (Pulsed Magneto-Oscillation) design in order to improve the efficiency of ingot manufacturing. SPMO-H (Simplified Surface Pulse Magneto-Oscillation) and CPMO-H (Simplified Compound Pulse Magneto-Oscillation) were presented on the basis of SPMO (Surface Pulse Magneto-Oscillation) and CPMO (Compound Pulse Magneto-Oscillation). Our numerical and experimental results showed that optimized PMO coil design offered us a device that enabled the operator to examine and operate the melt more convenient without losing the efficiency and decreasing refinement effect. Our work also showed the distance between the coil and the melt surface had little effect on the grain sizes refined. Therefore, in ingot production, the dropping of melt surface is not a problem for PMO application.
