Heating with induction coils
At Zion, we offer a variety of heat treating process including heat treatment with induction coils. This process involves two coils of insulated copper, with one coil being smaller and made up of coarse wires and a second coil made up of thousands of turns of fine wire. Induction coils are used in heat treating to provide localized, controlled heat to any object placed inside the coil.
What are the benefits of heating with induction coils?
Fast Heating… Development of heat within the work piece by induction provides much higher heating rates than the convection and radiation processes that occur in furnaces.
Fast Start-up… Furnaces contain large amounts of refractory materials that must be heated during start-up, resulting in large thermal inertia. The internal heating of the induction heating process eliminates this problem and allows much quicker start-up.
Energy Savings… When not in use, the induction heating power supply can be turned off because restarting is so quick. With furnaces, energy must be supplied continuously to maintain temperature during delays in processing and to avoid long start-ups.
High Production Rates… Because heat treating times are short, induction heating often allows increased production and reduced labor costs.
