Induction Heating

Induction Heating

Induction heating is a technique commonly used across various industries in order to rapidly heat metals for treatmet or formation The process starts with placing an electrically conductive workpiece into a copper coil, through which an alternating current flows. The magnetic field created by this alternating current pushes the current to flow within the workpiece. Since the workpiece has an inherent electrical resistance to the current flow, heat is generated. The heating induction principle is traced back to that of the transformer effect. The primary winding is the coil, with the secondary winding as the workpiece.
