Brazing and soldering - brazing of steel, brass, and copper to each other in combination and aluminum to aluminum. In any manufacturing process, for example, shrinkfitting of motor rotors to shafts, shrink fitting of shell casings for compressors. Coating - Of dissimilar metals, prior to insulation, and curing, such as paint. Melting - Of all types of metals. Other applications include crystal growing, cap sealing, sintering, carbon vapor deposition, levitation, exitaxial deposition, and plasma generation.
Induction heating occurs due to the magnetic quality and resistivity of the material.
The magnetic qualities are only present in magnetic steel. The varying electric magnetic field induces a current inside the component being heated in a similar way to that of a transformer. Induction heating is a non-contact method. The heat is generated only in the part, not in the surrounding area except by radiation. The location of the heating can be defined to a specified area on the metal component and achieves accurate and consistent results.
