A source of high frequency electricity is used to drive a large alternating current through a induction coil. ThisĀ induction heating coilĀ is known as the work coil. See the picture opposite. The passage of current through thisĀ induction heating coilĀ 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… The alternating magnetic field induces a current flow in the conductive workpiece. The arrangement of the work coil and the workpiece can be thought of as an electrical transformer. The work coil is like the primary where electrical energy is fed in, and the workpiece is like a single turn secondary that is short-circuited. This causes tremendous currents to flow through the workpiece. These are known as eddy currents. In addition to this, the high frequency used inĀ Induction HeatingĀ applications gives rise to a phenomenon called skin effect. This skin effect forces the alternating current to flow in a thin layer towards the surface of the workpiece. The skin effect increases the effective resistance of the metal to the passage of the large current. Therefore it greatly increases the induction heating effect of theĀ induction heaterĀ caused by the current induced in the workpiece.
MagneticĀ Induction HeaterĀ Ā is a process equipment which is used to melt,braze,forge,bond,heat treating,harden or soften metals or other conductive materials. For many modern manufacturing processes,Ā Magnetic induction heating equipmentĀ offers an attractive combination of speed, consistency and control.The basic principles of magneticĀ induction heatingĀ have been understood and applied to manufacturing since the 1920s. During World War II, the technology developed rapidly to meet urgent wartime requirements for a fast, reliable process to harden metal engine parts. More recently, the focus on lean manufacturing techniques and emphasis on improved quality control have led to a rediscovery of induction technology, along with the development of precisely controlled, all solid state induction power supplies.
MagneticĀ Induction HeaterĀ relies on the unique characteristics ofĀ induction heatingĀ radio frequency (RF) energyĀ – that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum below infrared and microwave energy. Since heat is transferred to the product via electromagnetic waves, the part never comes into direct contact with any flame, the inductor itself does not get hot, and there is no product contamination. When properly set up, the process becomes very repeatable and controllable.
