How does Induction Heating work ?

A source of high frequency electricity is used to drive a large alternating current through a
induction coil. This induction heating coil is known as the work coil. See the picture opposite.
The passage of current through this induction heating coil generates a very intense and
rapidly changing magnetic field in the space within the work coil. The workpiece to be heated
is placed within this intense alternating magnetic field.

Depending on the nature of the workpiece material, a number of things happen...
The alternating magnetic field induces a current flow in the conductive workpiece. The
arrangement of the work coil and the workpiece can be thought of as an electrical
transformer. The work coil is like the primary where electrical energy is fed in, and the
workpiece is like a single turn secondary that is short-circuited. This causes tremendous
currents to flow through the workpiece. These are known as eddy currents.
In addition to this, the high frequency used in Induction Heating applications gives rise to a
phenomenon called skin effect. This skin effect forces the alternating current to flow in a thin
layer towards the surface of the workpiece. The skin effect increases the effective resistance
of the metal to the passage of the large current. Therefore it greatly increases the induction
heating effect of the induction heater caused by the current induced in the workpiece.

How to select Induction Heater

Induction heating is a form of non-contact heating for conductive materials, when alternating
current flows in the induced coil, varying electromagnetic field is set up around the coil,
circulating current(induced, current, eddy current) is generated in the workpiece(conductive
material), heat is produced as the eddy current flows against the resitivity of the material.

Induction heating is a rapid ,clean, non-polluting heating form which can be used to heat
metals or change the conductive materials properties. The coil itself does not get hot and the
heating effect is under controlled. The solid state transistor technology has made induction
heating much easier,cost-effective heating for applications including soldering and induction
brazing ,induction heat treating, induction melting,induction forging etc.
