Description: Induction heating is a physical process extensively used in the metallurgical industry for different applications involving metal melting. The main components of an induction heating

system are an induction coil connected to a power-supply providing an alternating electric

current and a conductive workpiece to be heated, placed inside the coil. The alternating

current traversing the coil generates eddy currents in the workpiece and by means of ohmic

losses the workpiece is heated
