Induction heating
Induction heating is an efficient, fast, non-contact, flame-free heating method commonly used to heat metallic materials. This process is based on electric currents induced in materials in order to produce heat. The technique also lends itself to several other applications involving packaging and polymerisation. Michael Faraday discovered the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction in 1831 and its use is widespread in today’s modern manufacturing processes.
The basic components of an induction heating system are an AC generator, an inductor coil (or “inductor”) and a “load” (i.e. the material to be heated).
The generator provides the alternating current that flows through the coil, generating a magnetic field around it. When a load is approached, it is carried by eddy currents induced by the magnetic field, which produce a precise, localised and controllable temperature rise in the material, without any physical contact with the coil.
