What is induction heating?
The heating method known as induction heating occurs when an electrically conductive material is placed in a varying magnetic field.

Induction heating is a rapid form of heating in which a current is induced directly into the part being heated. Induction heating is a

non-contact form of heating.

What makes up a typical induction heating system?
A typical induction heating system consists of the induction heating power supply, an induction heating coil, and a water-cooling source, which cools the coil and several internal components inside the power supply. The induction heating power supply

sends alternating current through the induction coil, thus generating a magnetic field. When a work piece is placed within the coil

and enters the magnetic field, eddy currents are induced within the workpiece, generating precise and localized heat without any

physical contact between the induction coil and the work piece.

What is an induction heating coil (inductor)?
The varying magnetic field required for induction heating is developed in the induction heating coil via the flow of AC (alternating

current) in the coil. The coil can be made in many shapes and sizes to custom fit a specific application. The coils can range from

tiny coils made of copper tubing used for precise heating of extremely small parts in applications such as soldering and ferrule

heating to large coil assemblies of copper tubing used in applications such as strip metal heating and pipe heating.

What is the importance of the induction heating coil (inductor)?
The induction coil design is one of the most important aspects of an induction heating system. The coil is a custom design to give

your work piece or part the proper heating pattern, maximize efficiency of the induction heating power supply’s load matching

system, and to accomplish these tasks while still permitting ease of loading and unloading your part.
