High quality induction heating equipment supplier

Premium induction heating equipment supplier? Induction heating is the process of heating an electrically conducting object (usually a metal) by electromagnetic induction, through heat generated in the object by eddy currents. An induction heater consists of an electromagnet and an electronic oscillator that passes a high-frequency alternating current (AC) through the electromagnet. The rapidly alternating magnetic field penetrates the object, generating electric currents inside the conductor, called eddy currents.

It’s a common misconception that induction heaters don’t work for aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. This is not true. This induction heater will heat up aluminum and copper just fine, but not as fast as ferrous metals. This is mainly due to their lower resistivity. The higher the resistivity of the conductive material, the more it generates heat when current is passed through it. The higher resistivity of most ferrous metals coupled with the heating due to hysteresis makes them ideal for induction heating, but they are not the only metals affected by induction.

MYF melting furnace is designed for Non-ferrous metal melting. Which is used for copper, aluminum, zinc, tin and lead melting. The induction power is 40KW-600KW. The induction heating power and melting furnace are equipped with water cooling system. The air cooling ones will need customization. The graphite crucible furnace capacity is 100-1000kg copper or equivalent. In general, it will cost 300-350KW*H electric power to melt 1MT aluminum. The input power is 3 x 380V, 50/60HZ. Air cooling or water cooling induction melting furnace. More saving for the electrical power. Easy to operate and more stable for 24 hours working.

Induction is particularly good at case hardening. This is because of the skin effect discussed in the next step. The same high frequency skin depth that is seen in the working coil is also seen in the part being heated. The higher the frequency, the more the current is flowing on the outside of the material. For steel in this case, the current is only flowing about 6 thousandths of an inch deep. This is perfect for case hardening. This process should only be used with low carbon steel so I’ll show you a way to determine what type of steel you have.

Weld preheating machine SMD-300 is widely used for weld preheating, ship building weld preheating, field joint coating, shrink fitting, heating removing and so on. Induction weld preheating PWHT Machine SMD-700 is used for pipe PWHT, stress reliving, weld preheating with temperature 0-700 C Induction weld preheating PWHT Machine SMD-900 is used for P91, P92, pipe PWHT, stress reliving, weld preheating with temperature 0-900 C The induction weld preheating PWHT machine is air cooling with DSP + PLC control. Can set the heating temperature, heating speed and cooling speed. See additional information at https://www.cmheat.com/.
