Induction Annealing Copper Tubes

Objective
Uniformly high frequency annealing copper tubes simultaneously to 800ยฐF (426ยฐC) in under 10 seconds with induction heating.

Equipment
DW-HF-45kw induction heater


Helical coil

Material
โ€ข Two copper tubes
โ€“ OD: 0.69โ€™โ€™ (1.75 cm)
โ€“ ID: 0.55โ€™โ€™ (1.40 cm)
โ€“ Length: 5.50โ€™โ€™ (14.0 cm).

Key Parameters
Power: 27kW
Temperature: 842ยฐF (450ยฐC)
Time: 5 sec

Process:

  1. The two copper tubes were placed together in the coil.
  2. Induction heating was applied for 5s.

Results/Benefits:

  • Improved process control for uniform induction heating to a desired temperature
  • Power on demand and rapid, consistent heat cycles
  • Technology without pollution, which is both clean and safe
