Introduction. The development proposed by the authors [1] with the use of induction local heating of metal surfaces assumes the fulfillment of research calculations of the field penetration process into sample sheet metal in order to determine its qualitative and quantitative characteristics.
Today, there are large number amount of research material covering the physical processes and the corresponding solutions to the problems of induction heating technologies. The author [2] describes the electrodynamic processes under metal cylinder heating and numerical values obtained coinciding with the experimental data. A similar model of the system is also described in [3] for heating the walls of a cylindrical surface to simulate the process of strips welding. No less significant are research into the microscopic parameters behavior of an object. The author [4], among other things, studied the effect of magnetic permeability and its
changes on the efficiency of the metal heating for its heat treatment. The characteristic combining factor of the works analyzed, including similar ones [5, 6], is the orientation to objects of cylindrical geometry and a common mathematical apparatus, namely, the numerical analysis of FEM, by which it is impossible to obtain analytical dependencies suitable for engineering calculations.
Since in most cases induction heating is used for cylindrical objects heating processes, the application of the available recommendations for flat surfaces heating can lead to incorrect technical solutions in practice.
The analysis of the flat surfaces heating is an actual task for the further determination of the induction heating tools optimal parameters.
To obtain a general estimation of the electromagnetic interaction between the field source and

the object, it is advisable to neglect the penetration processes, and to considered the metal of the billet as the ideal conductivity approximation.
To exclude all kinds of circumstances that occur in real constructions of inductor systems and to evaluate precisely the geometry of the relative location of the field source and the object of electromagnetic influence, it is advisable to neglect the penetration processes, and to consider the metal of the sample in the ideal conductivity approximation.
The goal of the paper is to define the key parameters of the inductor geometry, as a long multi-turn solenoid, that influence on the current amplitude induced excited in a massive conductor with a flat boundary surface.
Fields and the eddy currents. The computational model in the cylindrical coordinate system is shown in Fig. 1.

In the general case, the current density on the right-hand side of equation (1) is written as:

For a cylindrical inductor in Fig. 1 with a radial and longitudinal number of turns - wr, wz accordingly, homogeneous distributions of the exciting current with respect to the spatial variables are described by the following functions.

Formulation of the problem:
• the system has an azimuthal symmetry, so that
— = 0 , p- azimuth angle;

• the current in the winding of the inductor is represented by the azimuthal component with a uniformly distributed spatial density -jf(t), t - time;
• electromagnetic processes in the system are

• the metal of the inductor winding has not influence the flowing electromagnetic processes.
The solution carrying out of the problem is mannered according to the [7, 8].
The Maxwell's equations for non-zero components of electromagnetic field strengths, been transformed by Laplace taking into account zero initial conditions, at space above the blank, where z > 0, have a view [7]:

From the Maxwell system (1) - (3) a differential equation for the azimuthal component of the electric field strength Ep(p,A,z) can be obtained, which after the integral Fourier-Bessel transform takes the form [8].
The unknown constants can be defined from the boundedness conditions of the function Ev(p^z) with z ^ x and its equality to zero on an ideally conducting surface z = 0. Intermediate identical transformations are omitted because of its triviality and to avoid excessive unwieldiness in the material presentation. In the end, it is found that

Experiment. To confirm the correctness of the calculations performed, similar experimental measurements for a similar electrodynamic system took place. The purpose of the following experiment is:
• the veracity confirmation about the consideration of the ideal conductor system;
• the veracity confirmation of the graphs obtained for induced current density distribution.
It is necessary to carry out two types of measurements for this. The measurement of the distribution of induced currents using an induction sensor located and moved along the radius of the conductor surface and the direct measurement of the induced current density by the voltage drop at a given gap in the conductor. The assumption about the ideal conductor makes it possible to affirm that the density of induced currents on the ideal conductor surface is equal numerically to the magnetic field strength above the conductor. Its veracity can be confirmed with the following scheme of the experiment.
The Fig. 3 below shows a schematic diagram of a contact measuring method.

• Diameters of inductors used: cylindrical inductor 45 mm, disk inductor 112 mm;
• Height of inductors used: cylindrical inductor -50 mm, disc inductor - 2 mm;
• Number of turns inductors: 20;
• Inductor current frequency: 20.56 kHz;
• The amplitude of the inductor current: 16.8 A;
• Conductivity of sheet billet: r= 59.5-106 Sm/m;
• The value of the contact gap: Ax = 5 mm;
• Cross-sectional area of the contact contour and the inductive sensor: S = 5 mm2;
• Number of the inductive sensor coil turns: N= 100.
It should be taken into account that the voltage measured at the contacts is the sum of the voltage drop and the induced EMF in the contact contour formed. According to this it's possible to determine the function of the measured voltage by the following formula

The qualitative and quantitative coincidence of the current density distributions measured and the calculated currents values for two different measurement methods allow to state the correct representation of the electrodynamic process model and the acceptability of the analytical dependences obtained.
Conclusions. The calculations carried out related for effective systems creation not only for the induction heating of thin-walled metals, but also for a number of electrical devices that represent air current transformers in this case.
How to cite this article:
The value of the current transformation coefficient depends essentially on the mutual arrangement of the inductor turns.
The most effective is to increase the radial number of turns, with a linear increase in the transmission coefficient. In turn, an increase in the turns along the vertical direction from the surface of the metal does not lead to a substantial transformation coefficient increasing due to the self-shielding effect of the winding.
In the case of a cylindrical inductor, the radial distribution of the excited currents has a pronounced maximum that coincides with the center at the end of the winding. For the practice of induction heating, it means a quadratic dependence of the heat emitting in this region of sheet metal.
The objectivity of the assumption of considering a massive conductor as an ideally conducting surface, as well as the reliability of the graphical dependencies obtained, were confirmed experimentally.
