Induction Heating Aluminum Pipe For End Forming With High Frequency Induction Heater
Objective Through heating the top 2ā (50.8mm) of aluminum oxygen tankĀ to form a rounded end with a hole for oxygen valve
Material Aluminum oxygen tank with open end 2.25ā (57.15mm)Ā diameter, 0.188ā (4.8mm) wall thickness
Temperature 700 ĀŗF (371 ĀŗC)
Frequency 71 kHz
Equipment ā¢ DW-HF-45kW induction heating system, equipped with aĀ remote workhead containing two 1.5Ī¼F capacitors for aĀ total of 0.75Ī¼F
ā¢ An induction heating coil designed and developedĀ specifically for this application.
Process A five turn helical coil is used to heat the open end of theĀ oxygen tank. The tank is heated for 24 seconds to reach 700ĀŗF (371 ĀŗC).
Results/Benefits Induction heating provides:
ā¢ Uniform through heating
ā¢ Fast, energy-efficient heat
ā¢ Fast, controllable and repeatable process
ā¢ Hands-free heating that involves no operator skill forĀ manufacturing
