This section of the Application Notebook includes general heating applications that don't specifically fall into other application categories.
There are many applications for precision heating where only a portion of the part must be heated to allow the correct operation to occur; specific reports in this section of our database cover heating techniques for nitinol, carbon fiber rods, thin copper wire, valve heads and other materials.
Using Induction
Modern induction heating provides many advantages over other heating methods. Heating with induction provides reliable, repeatable, non-contact and energy-efficient heat in a minimal amount of time. Solid state induction power supplies are capable of heating very small areas with repeatability and precision .
Typical power supplies for induction heating range from 3 to 200kW, depending on material and application requirements.
Benefits to the customer
Brazing and Soldering are ideal applications for the induction heating process. Benefits include the following:
