Induction heating is a contactless process that uses high-frequency alternating current to efficiently and precisely heat conductive and ferromagnetic materials. This technology has become essential across various industrial applications, offering consistent and repeatable heating for processes such as hardening, annealing, and soldering.
Induction heating operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where alternating current generates a magnetic field that induces eddy currents within conductive materials. These currents heat the workpiece directly, while the heating system remains largely cool. In ferromagnetic materials, additional heat is generated through magnetic hysteresis losses.
Induction heating is utilized in numerous industrial processes, offering precise control over energy input. It is particularly effective for:
Thanks to its versatility, induction technology can meet even the most demanding requirements. For more details, please contact us.
An induction heating system consists of a generator that supplies the required energy and an inductor that transfers this energy as magnetic energy to the workpiece. The inductor is a coil cooled with water. An optional control system can be added for precise temperature regulation.
Key factors depending on the application include:
Optimizing these components guarantees efficient and reliable heating results for stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and other electrically conductive and ferromagnetic materials.
Determining the energy requirements for induction heating is crucial when designing an induction system. Factors such as material type, frequency range, and power must be precisely coordinated. With modern semiconductor technology and user-friendly controls, even complex processes can be efficiently planned and executed.
