    This chapter reviews relevant literature on induction heating, including books, journals, and magazines. It explores the fundamental principles of induction heating, how it works, and its advantages over other heating methods. Induction heating uses electromagnetic waves to heat conductive materials without direct contact through the induction of eddy currents. When an alternating current is passed through an induction coil, it creates an alternating magnetic field that induces currents in a workpiece placed inside the coil, causing it to heat up.

    This section explores many written materials such as books, journals and

    magazines with various authors and writers that are important for the course of

    the study and are therefore relevant for researchers and readers.

    Elements of Induction Heating

    Induction heating is a process that uses metals or other conductive

    materials to bond, solidify or soften. Induction heating offers an attractive

    combination of speed, constancy and control for many modern production

    processes.

    Since the 1920s, the fundamental principles of induction heating have

    been understood and applied to development. The technology developed rapidly

    during World War II to meet urgent wartime requirements for a fast, reliable

    process of hardening parts of metal engines. More recently, the focus on lean

    manufacturing methods and the emphasis on improved quality control has led to

    the discovery of induction engineering, together with the development of all solid

    state induction power supplies that are precisely controlled.

    What makes this method of heating so unique? A torch or open flames are

    applied directly to the metal part in the most common heating methods. Yet heat

    is actually induced within the component itself through the flow of electrical

    currents with induction heating.

    Induction heating is based on the unique characteristics of radio frequency

    energy— that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum below infrared and

    microwave power. Since heat is transferred to the product through

    electromagnetic waves, the part never comes into direct contact with any flames,

    the inductor itself is not getting hot and there is no contamination of the product.

    The system becomes very repeatable and controllable when properly set up.

    Working principle of Induction heating

    It helps to have a fundamental understanding of electricity principles. An

    alternating magnetic field is created when an alternating electrical current is

    applied to a transformer's primary. If the transformer's secondary is located within

    the magnetic field, an electrical current will be induced, according to Faraday's

    Law.

    The induction heating system consists of an alternating current source, an

    induction coil, and the heated work part. The underlying fundamental phenomena

    of induction heating is best understood in terms of the relations between the coil

    and the workpiece; In this case, the role of the power supply is only taken into

    consideration in terms of the frequency and magnitude of the ac current supplied

    to the coil. The electrical and thermal effects caused by its coupling with the coil

    in the workpiece are thus deduced (Elements of Induction Heating, 1988).

    A solid state RF power supply sends an AC currents through an inductor,

    often a copper coil, in a basic induction heating setup, and the part to be heated

    which is the piece of work is placed inside the inductor. The inductor acts as the

    primary transformer and the heated component becomes a secondary short

    circuit. When a metal part is put inside the inductor and enters the magnetic field,

    the part induces rotating eddy currents.
