What is induction welding?

What is induction welding?
With induction welding the heat is electromagnetically induced in the workpiece. The speed and accuracy
of induction welding make it ideal for edge welding of tubes and pipes. In this process, pipes pass an induction coil at high speed. As they do so, their edges are heated then squeezed together to form a longitudinal weld seam. Induction welding is particularly suitable for high-volume production. Induction welders can also be fitted with contact heads, turning them into
dual purpose welding systems.
What are the benefits?
Automated induction longitudinal welding is a reliable, high-throughput process. The low power consumption and high efficiency of DAWEI Induction welding systems reduce costs. Their controllability and repeatability minimize scrap. Our systems are also flexible—automatic load matching ensures full output power across a wide range of tube sizes. And their small footprints make them easy to integrate or retrofit into production lines.
Where is it used?
Induction welding is used in the tube and pipe industry for the longitudinal welding of stainless steel (magnetic and non-magnetic), aluminum, low-carbon and highstrength low-alloy (HSLA) steels and many other conductive
materials.

Induction Preheating Welding Steel Pipe

Induction Preheating Welding Steel Pipe With High Frequency Heating System

Objective To preheat a steel pipe to 500ºF (260ºC) before welding.
Material Steel shaft assembly 5” to 8” OD (127-203.2mm) with a 2” (50.8mm) heat zone.
Temperature 500ºF (260ºC), if higher temperatures are required, heat time can be increased.
Frequency 60 kHz
Equipment • DW-HF-60kW induction heating system, equipped with a remote workhead containing eight 1.0 μF capacitors for a total of 8 μF.
• An induction heating coil designed and developed specifically for this application.
Process A multi-turn two position channel “C” coil, adjustable on a busbar is used to heat the desired heat zone. The coil is adjustable to fit various diameter pipes. The shaft is rotated in a fixture and heated for 3 minutes to achieve a temperature of 500ºF (260ºC).
Results/Benefits Induction heating provides:
• Preheating prevents shock to shaft which eliminates cracking in the welding phase.
• Hands-free heating that involves no operator skill for manufacturing.
• Even distribution of heating between the shank and the  sleeve.
