In the work by the methods of numerical experiment, the features of the distribution of electromagnetic and hydrodynamic fields in the conductive electric current treatment of melts by parallel electrodes are determined. Was shown that by isolating the side walls and varying the depth of immersion of the electrodes, it is possible to create local places of concentration of the electromagnetic field, to avoid the flow of current through the electrode walls and, thereby, to increase the intensity

... of the treatment. It has been established that the use of electrodes with varying the depth of immersion and with an isolated lateral surface is an additional factor that does not require financial and energy costs, which allows more active influence on the intensity of the effect on the melt during conductive electric current treatment.
