dc.description.abstractThe use of homopolar generators operated in the pulse mode to heat forging billets offers several possible advantages over present heating methods. Because heating is uniform throughout the entire cross section, billets can safely be heated to forging temperature in comparatively short times, thus minimizing scale formation. Because energy is stored in the generator, the demand on the utility mains is low and essentially uniform. In this paper, the range of billet sizes and shapes that can be heated using a 75-MJ power supply are calculated. The power supply consists of six pairs of homopolar generators that can be configured in series, in parallel, or in any of several series-parallel combinations depending on the load requirements.en
