Had a good play myself yesterday, at annealing. Settled on coil shape and have it running at 100 kHz (i.e. induced current changes direction 100 thousand times a second). With some temporary water cooling running through the induction coil I could mess around with a few more variables, how far the brass goes inside the coil, tweaking the supply voltage and adjusting the length of time magnetic field heats the brass.
