Induction heating is a process used in modern manufacturing processes to bond, harden or soften metals or other conductive materials. This process offers a combination of speed, consistency, control and energy efficiency, making it an attractive option for various applications.
The basic principles of induction heating have been known and used in manufacturing since the 1920s. It was during World War II that the technology of induction heating grew rapidly due to the urgent requirement for a fast and reliable process to harden metal engine parts.
Nowadays, the focus on lean manufacturing techniques and quality control has led to a renewed interest in induction technology. This has resulted in the development of precisely controlled, all solid-state induction power supplies which have further improved the benefits of induction heating.
When an alternating electrical current is applied to the primary of a transformer, an alternating magnetic field is generated. According to Faraday’s Law, if the secondary of the transformer is within the magnetic field, an electric current will be induced.
In a typical induction heating setup, a power supply sends an AC current through an inductor, which is often a copper coil. The part to be heated, or the workpiece, is placed inside the inductor. The inductor then becomes the transformer primary, while the workpiece becomes a short circuit secondary.
As soon as the metal part is placed inside the inductor and enters the magnetic field, circulating eddy currents are induced within the part. It is these currents that generate heat and cause the metal to heat up quickly and uniformly.
