Induction Annealing Copper Wire
Objective:ย Induction Annealing a brazing copperย wireย for preform production.
Material: Copper Nickel Silver 2774 Alloy rod 0.070″ (1.8mm) diameter.
Temperature 650ยบF(343.3ยบC)
Frequency 580 kHz
Equipment: โขย DW-UHF-6kW-III induction heating systemย equipped with a remote workhead with one 1.0 ฮผF capacitor, and a 4-20 mA input controller to aid in voltage ramping. โข Anย induction heating coilย designed and developed specifically for this application.
Process A unique helical coil consisting of four consecutive coils connected in parallel with a quartz tube lining is used to heat the wire to 650ยบF (343.3ยบC) for annealing.
Results/Benefitsย Induction heatingย provides: โข Higher productivity of 27′ (8.2m) per minute โข Reduction in surface oxidation & scaling โข Consistent, repeatable results
