Induction heating has been around ever since Nicola Tesla discovered and harnessed the phenomena. His industrial applications made much of the modern world we know today possible. So what exactly is Induction heating? For most applications it is the use of an alternating magnetic field on an electrically conductive part. The magnetic field pushes and pulls electrons within the material. The energy used to do this is dissipated as heat within the part. When properly controlled through coil design and current control, this can produce precise, repeatable and predictable results. This can be seen in modern induction stoves in many kitchens around the world. These stoves require a special pot with a bottom that can accept the magnetic field. Precise current control through an engineered coil provides even controllable heat with a nearly infinite temperature control. But did you know that Induction heating has solved many industrial challenges as well?
