Induction heating applications
Engineering guides for six major induction heating applications — with typical parameters, coil selection, key considerations, and process physics for each.
Application Guides
Brazing & Soldering
Precision joining with filler metal — from carbide tool tips to HVAC copper assemblies. Controlled, repeatable heat without flame.
Hardening & Tempering
Surface and through hardening of steel and cast iron. Precise case depth control through frequency and power density selection.
Forging & Preheating
Billet and bar heating to forging temperature. Uniform temperature profiles for consistent metal flow and longer die life.
Melting
Vacuum and air induction melting for precious metals, superalloys, and laboratory samples. Clean, stirred melts with precise temperature control.
Wire & Strip Heating
Continuous inline annealing, stress relief, galvannealing, and coating cure for wire, strip, and tube at production line speeds.
Shrink Fitting
Thermal expansion assembly and disassembly of bearings, gears, rings, and sleeves. Precise, distortion-free interference fits.
