Principle of induction heating process

Most materials that conduct electricity will heat up when exposed to a high-frequency magnetic field. By induction, energy can be rapidly and precisely transferred into the work piece without physical contact with the source. The result is a fast and efficient heating process that can be performed in a variety of environments, even vacuum.
Induction is the heating method of choice for applications such as surface hardening, brazing, bonding and crystal growing. And, because induction does not heat non-metallic materials and does not need to touch the part, it is an ideal solution for container sealing. Our short film shows the principle of induction heating process.
