How Does Induction Heating Compare to Other Heating Sources?

Induction heating quickly heats both the surface and core, saving significant time over traditional furnace methods.

What Are Some of The Other Advantages to Using Induction Heating?

Induction heating uses an electromagnetic field to generate heat within a material. Induction heating has several advantages over other heating methods such as convection or resistance heating, as shown below.

What is Induction Heating

Induction heating refers to the process of heating a conductive object (usually metal) through electromagnetic induction by the heat generated in an object by an eddy current. The induction heater consists of an electromagnet and an electronic oscillator that passes high-frequency alternating current (AC) through the electromagnet. The rapidly alternating magnetic field penetrates the object… Continue reading What is Induction Heating

What Does a Typical Induction Heating System Consist of?

A typical induction heating system consists of the induction heating power supply, an induction heating coil, and a water-cooling source, which cools the coil and several internal components inside the power supply. The induction heating power supply sends alternating current through the induction coil, thus generating a magnetic field. When a work piece is placed… Continue reading What Does a Typical Induction Heating System Consist of?
