Induction Heating Applications
Induction heating is a method of heating an electrically conductive material, typically metal, by using electromagnetic induction. It relies on the principle of inducing eddy currents within the material to generate heat. Those currents encounter resistance within the material, and this resistance leads to the conversion of electrical energy into heat. As a result, the material heats up rapidly and uniformly due to the internal heating effect of the eddy currents. The heating is highly localized, focusing on the part of the material within the coil or the region influenced by the magnetic field.
Induction heating is done without physical contact on any ferrous or non-ferrous metals. The depth of penetration of the magnetic field is determined by the frequency used.
Induction heating is favored for its efficiency, speed, and precise control over temperature. It is widely used in various industrial applications, including metal hardening, annealing, forging, brazing, and even in consumer appliances like induction cooktops, where it provides rapid and energy-efficient cooking by directly heating the cookware.
There are many of these applications that induction heating can benefit in your facility. Here are just a few:
Due to the precise and repeatable process induction heating provides,
heat treating is a great use for this equipment. Whether you need a specific Rockwell hardness or if you just need to soften the metals, induction heating is the way to go.

This is a quick and precise way to heat a specific part to use in a shrink fitting application. With the use of a Pyrometer/IR Sensor, we can hold a temperature allowing the housing to expand, while the other part can be inserted with no problem. After cooling both parts are secure with no further actions required.

Curing is an important step in the manufacturing process for many materials, as it helps to ensure that the finished product has the desired properties and will be able to withstand the stresses and strains it will be subjected to in its intended use.
The temperature and duration of the curing process will depend on the specific material being cured and the desired properties of the finished product.

In patch coating for manufacturing, once the patch powder is blown onto the threads. Maintaining precise temperature control is crucial to ensure the powder melts and adheres correctly to the threads. Striking the right temperature balance is essential; excessive heat can burn the powder, while insufficient heat prevents proper adhesion.
