Induction heating process is like a kind of magic!
We put a metal part inside a coil connected to an electric current and that is when magic happens! Suddenly, with the speed of an impulse, an invisible and mysterious force turns the metal grey into an incandescent orange surface. We can imagine how Michael Faraday felt almost 200 years ago when he discovered the principles of electromagnetic induction that would transform the future of many industries. The metal industry would become, moreover, one of the most benefited from this technology, through the multiple applications that can be obtained, such as fusion, welding, conformation, among others. Although it may seem like magic, the principles of induction heating are very simple to understand.
But what is exactly induction heating and how does it work?
First statement: Induction heating is the most clean, efficient, cost-effective, precise, and repeatable method of material heating available to the industry today (we took this from Wikipedia… It doesn’t lie!) In short: we just need an electric power generator, a controller machine and an accurate coil design! So, when an alternate electrical current is passed through the copper coil, a magnetic field is created around it. If a steel bar is inserted into the coil, a magnetic flux is generated, which creates heat within the immediate surface of the inserted bar. The depth of the heated surface will be dependent of some variables like induction power and frequency, residence time within the coil or carbon content of the steel bar, when applied. However, there’s a general rule we may consider: the higher the frequency, the shallower the heating of the part.
