Introduction to induction furnaces

In the industrial world, choosing the right method for melting and heating metals plays a key role in productivity, product quality, and energy consumption. Two methods in this field are induction furnaces and fossil fuel furnaces. In this article, we introduce induction furnaces to gain a better understanding of their applications, advantages, and limitations. Induction […]

Series vs. Parallel Induction Furnace

Induction furnaces are categorized into two types based on the type of resonance circuit: series and parallel. (If you would like to learn more about the phenomenon of resonance, we recommend reading this article first.) In this article, we will examine the structural and functional differences between these two types of furnaces and review the advantages […]

The Operating Principles of an Induction Furnace

In an induction furnace, a large current with a frequency close to 1000 Hz is induced inside the coil, enabling the melting process.The inverter is responsible for supplying the appropriate current with adjustable frequency.It converts the direct current (DC) supplied by the rectifier circuit into single-phase alternating current (AC). The diagram below depicts the functional […]

General structure of induction melting furnaces

Application of induction furnaces

Induction furnaces in industry have two main applications: melting and heat treatment. Induction melting furnaces are primarily used for melting metals such as steel, cast iron, gold, copper, and aluminum. It is worth noting that in the steel industry, induction melting furnaces are used both for casting component manufacturing and in steelmaking industries. Induction melting […]
