Introduction
Statement of the problem. Induction heating (IH) is heating of a metal object called «a blank» by electric currents. The latter are induced by variable magnetic field of an inductor (singleturn or multiple-turn solenoid). Flow of the eddy-currents is accompanied by heat liberation determined by the effect of Joule-Lenz's law, which results in the object heating [1, 2]. This effect has found a wide industrial application in performing a whole number of working operations, for example, quenching the surfaces of metal products, non-contact heating of liquids, levitation melting of metals, etc. [3, 4].
Publications analysis
Among the latest works devoted to IH there should be mentioned those, which in details describe processes in instruments of the method -generators of transverse magnetic field [5] and generalize the results of integrated studies presented in Russian as well as foreign literature, describe the methods of calculating integral characteristics of the heating processes and the results of physical experiments on industrial units [6].
Interest in IH has been observed in vehicle repair technologies. Here production operations on glass removal, cleaning lacquer coatings, disconnecting bolt joints, softening car body metal coatings before planishing dents, etc. [7].
The idea of using the induction pre-heating in magnetic-pulse metal treatment was suggested yet in the eighties of the 20th century [8]. The authors of the proposal developed and created the system initiating the flow of current in the work tool coil till the moment of force impact. The induction pre-heating allowed sufficient increasy in magnetic-pulse deformation efficiency in whole.
Following the logic of the first proposal of the work authors [8] positive results can be expected at using IH in production operations with magnetic-pulse attraction of preselected areas of thin metals particularly in operations on external planishing of car body elements [7, 9].
A single-sided induction heating system based on IGBT is proposed in the article [4]. Authors have a simulation of the single-sided induction heating system in ANSYS. He simulation results are compared with the experimental results.
And also authors estimate the temperature distribution model by the least squares theory.
From the above-mentioned, it is clear that IH of nonferromagnetic materials in the field of a flat circular multiturn solenoid presents a quite urgent scientific and technical problem, which solving is required for production operations to repair vehicles.
The objective of the research
The objective of the research is theoretical analysis of electromagnetic processes in the system for induction heating presented as a flat circular multiturn solenoid placed above the plane of thin sheet non-magnetic metal.
Electromagnetic processes
When making calculations analytical dependences for induced currents obtained by the authors of the works [10] can be used. The design model in the cylindrical coordinate system with unit director vectors er, e„, ez is presented in fig. 1.
Fig. 1. The design model of the system «inductor-blank»: I(t) - alternating-current source; 1 - multipleturn solenoid; 2 - flat sheet blank
The assumptions accepted.
1. The system has axial symmetry, so that
a
— = 0 (9 - polar angle).

2. The inductor - a flat coil (the number of turns w), which thickness is quite small and its metal is so «transparent» for the existing fields (A^0) that has no effect on the taking place electromagnetic processes.
3. In the inductor there flows the harmonic current I(t), which time parameters allow using in
calculations a known condition of quasi-stationary electromagnetic processes so that
— • I <<1 (here © is a circular frequency of the c
process, c - light velocity in the vacuum condition, l - the most common geometrical dimensions of the system).
4. The radial length of the sheet blank is quite d
large, so that -«1, where d - the metal
R1,2
thickness, R12 - internal and external radius of the field inductor.
The results of the works of reference [9, 10], where electromagnetic processes were studied in the system similar to the considered one but with a single-turn field magnet/inductor we rewrite in a form convenient for numerical estimates.

From the dependence (4) it follows that the ratio of transformation on the current is directly proportional to the number of turns in the primary coil, thickness of the sheet metal and radius of the circular zone where excitement of the eddy-currents is considered.
Varying the mentioned above parameters allows intensifying electromagnetic coupling between the excitation and induced signals thus raising the level of energy transformation in the metal of the sheet blank.
The maximum value of the transformation ratio is observed at R taking into account distribution of the edd-currents over the whole sheet metal surface.

The main results of the theoretical analysis of parameters of the induction heating process of non-magnetic sheet metals depending on their electric conductivity and the time characteristics of current in the coil of a flat multi-turn inductor come to the following statements.
1. The ratio of transformation in the investigated system is determined by the ratio of effective depth of penetration of the field into the conductor and the thickness of the latter, which, to a certain extent specifies the degree of dispersion of concentration of electromagnetic energy in a certain part of the metal sheet blank.
2. The maximal value of the current transformation corresponds to the current operation frequency in the inductor calculated for the equation
