Electromagnetic levitation is a useful technique for containerless processing of liquid metals. In combination with non-contact diagnostic tools it can be used for completely non-invasive measurements of thermophysical properties of metallic melts. Considerable progress has been made in this field in recent years. This paper reviews methods and results, including those obtained in microgravity.
