    Induction Heating

    Induction heating is a non-contact heating process that uses high frequency electricity to heat electrically conductive materials. An alternating magnetic field generated within an induction coil induces circulating eddy currents within a workpiece placed inside the coil, causing the workpiece to heat up. It offers advantages over traditional heating methods like flame heating or resistance heating by providing consistent, controlled heating without contaminating the workpiece. Induction heating is efficient as the heat is generated directly inside the workpiece and finds applications in modern manufacturing due to its speed, consistency and ability to heat without contacting the workpiece.

    Heating

    Introduction of
    induction heating

    Induction heating is a process which is used to


    bond, harden or soften metals or other conductive
    materials. For many modern manufacturing
    processes, induction heating offers an attractive
    combination of speed, consistency and control.
    Induction heating is a non-contact heating process.
    It uses high frequency electricity to heat materials
    that are electrically conductive. Since it is noncontact, the heating process does not contaminate
    the material being heated. It is also very efficient
    since the heat is actually generated inside the
    workpiece. This can be contrasted with other
    heating methods where heat is generated in flame
    or heating element, which is then applied to the
    workpiece. For these reasons Induction heating
    leads itself to some unique applications in industry.

    How Induction heating works?

    It helps to have a basic


    understanding of the
    principles of electricity.
    When an alternating
    electrical
    current
    is
    applied to the primary
    of a transformer, an
    alternating
    magnetic
    field is created. A
    source
    of
    high
    frequency electricity is
    used to drive a large
    alternating
    current
    through a coil. This coil
    is known as the work
    coil. See the picture
    opposite.

    In a basic induction heating setup shown at right, a


    solid state RF power supply sends an AC current
    through an inductor (often a copper coil), and the
    part to be heated (the workpiece) is placed inside the
    inductor. The inductor serves as the transformer
    primary and the part to be heated becomes a short
    circuit secondary. When a metal part is placed within
    the inductor and enters the magnetic field, circulating
    eddy currents are induced within the part.
    The passage of current through this coil generates a
    very intense and rapidly changing magnetic field in
    the space within the work coil. The workpiece to be
    heated is placed within this intense alternating
    magnetic field.
    Depending on the nature of the workpiece material, a
    number of things happen...
