This study explores the electromagnetic shaping and instabilities of liquid metal drops caused by high-frequency magnetic fields. Focusing on electron beam evaporation and spin casting, we present both experimental and analytical models that identify critical parameters affecting drop stability. Our findings highlight three types of surface instabilities—small surface waves, large-amplitude static deformations, and electromagnetic pinch effects. Additionally, we propose collaboration opportunities within the framework of the 2nd Sino-German Workshop on Electromagnetic Processing of Materials to advance research in magnetofluid dynamics.
