This study focuses on the effect of an induction heating device on the entry of a thin strip continuous casting and rolling line. A finite element model for the electromagnetic–thermal coupling of transverse magnetic flux induction heating was developed by adopting COMSOL software 6.1 to systematically investigate the effects of process parameters on the magnetic field, eddy current field, and the transverse temperature distribution of the strip. The results show that when the gap is between 20 mm and 40 mm, the maximum value of magnetic induction in the overheating region at the edges of the strip increases from 0.28 T to 0.35 T and 0.38. When the strip width is 1000 mm, there is an approximately 29% increase in magnetic induction in comparison to a strip with a width of 800 mm, and both eddy current density and temperature exhibit abnormal fluctuations. The maximum temperature difference in the temperature uniformity region at the center of the strip is only 3 °C at different frequencies, and the temperature-rise curves almost completely overlap. With increasing current, the temperature difference between the weak temperature region and the temperature uniformity region at the center widens, indicating a deterioration in temperature uniformity. Meanwhile, the field conditions are simulated using a simplified model of continuous heating. The results indicate that the maximum temperature deviation in the overheating region at the edges of the strip is 6 °C, while the deviatio...
