Effects of induction heating on the temperature field in semi-solid AlSi7Mg alloy billets have been studied in this paper. The results have shown that when the indution height is given

the heated billets exist a appropriate height and the longitudinal temperature difference is smaller; if the billets are lower than the appropriate height

the longitudinal temperature diffrence is also smaller; if the billets are higher than the appropriate height

the longitudinal temperature diffrence is larger; if the billets are equal to or lower than the appropriate height and some thermal insulating materials are placed on the billet ends

the longitudinal temperature diffrence may be smaller than or equal to 2 ℃ . The results have also shown that the radial temperature field in semi-solid AlSi7Mg alloy billets can be more homogineous and the radial temperature diffrence may be smaller than or equal to 2 ℃ through adjusting the induction heating power.
