How does Induction heating Work ?

 Introduction :

Induction heating is a precise, quick, repeatable, proficient, non-contact strategy for heating metals or some other electrically-conductive materials.

An induction heating framework comprises of an induction power supply to convert line energy to an exchanging current and conveying it to a workhead, and a work loop for creating an electromagnetic field inside of the curl. The work piece is situated in the curl such this field prompts a current in the work piece, which thusly delivers heat.

The water-cooled loop is situated around or circumscribing the work piece. It doesn't contact the work piece, and the warmth is just delivered by the actuated current transmitted through the work piece. The material used to make the work piece can be a metal, for example, copper, aluminum, steel, or metal. It can likewise be a semiconductor, for example, graphite, carbon or silicon carbide.
For heating non-conductive materials, for example, plastics or glass, induction can be utilized to warm an electrically-conductive susceptor e.g., graphite, which then passes the warmth to the non-directing material.

Induction heating discovers applications in procedures where temperatures are as low as 100ºC (212°F) and as high as 3000°C (5432°F). It is likewise utilized as a part of short heating procedures going on for not as much as a large portion of a second and in heating procedures that stretch out more than a while.

Induction heating is utilized both residential and business cooking, in a few applications, for example, warmth treating, fastening, preheating for welding, melting, therapist fitting in industry, fixing, brazing, curing, and in and in research and development.

How Does Induction Heating Work?

Induction produces an electromagnetic field in a coil to transfer energy to a work piece to be heated. When the electrical current passes along a wire, a magnetic field is produced around that wire.

Key Benefits of Induction :

 The benefits of induction are:
 Efficient and quick heating
 Accurate, repeatable heating
 Safe heating as there is no flame
 Prolonged life of fixturing due to accurate heating
 Methods of Induction Heating

Induction heating is done using two methods:

The first method is referred to as eddy current heating from the I²R losses caused from the resistivity of a work piece’s material. The second is referred to as hysteretic heating, in which energy is produced within a part by the alternating magnetic field generated by the coil modifying the component’s magnetic polarity.

Hysteretic heating occurs in a component up to the Curie temperature when the material’s magnetic permeability decreases to 1 and hysteretic heating is reduced. Eddy current heating constitutes the remaining induction heating effect.
When there is a change in the direction of electrical current (AC) the magnetic field generated fails, and is produced in the reverse direction, as the direction of the current is reversed. When a second wire is positioned in that alternating magnetic field, an alternating current is produced in the second wire.
The current transmitted through the second wire and that through the first wire are proportional to each other and also to the inverse of the square of the distance between them.
When the wire in this model is substituted with a coil, the alternating current on the coil generates an electromagnetic field and while the work piece to be heated is in the field, the work piece matches to the second wire and an alternating current is produced in the work piece. The I²R losses of the material resistivity of the work piece causes heat to be created in the work piece of the work piece’s material resistivity. This is called eddy current heating.

Working of an Induction Coil

With the assistance of a rotating electric field, vitality is transmitted to the work piece with a work coil.
The rotating current passing through the coil delivers the electromagnetic field which instigates a present going in the work piece as a mirror picture to the present going in the work coil. The work coil/inductor is a piece of the induction heating framework that shows the viability and proficiency of the work piece when it is warmed. Work coils are of various sorts running from complex to basic.
The helical injury (or solenoid) coil is an illustration of basic coil, which comprises of numerous turns of copper tube twisted around a mandrel. A coil accuracy machined from strong copper and brazed together is a sample of complex coil.
