Induction Heating: Practical applications of induction heating for remanufacturing

摘要

Induction heating technology has been commercialized for over 100 years yet is still considered "new technology" to those unfamiliar with its application. Despite being a mature proven thermal technology, a certain amount of "mystery or art" still exists in the application of this applied science. Induction is most often utilized for melting applications, forging applications as well as precision heat treating applications. Additionally, induction heating is extensively used for various metal joining techniques such as brazing, soldering, shrink fitting and adhesive bonding. The majority of induction heating systems are sold to OEM automotive and off-road engine manufacturers for the purpose of fabricating and extending the life on new engine and drivetrain components.
