How Induction Furnace Work?
Induction furnace operate on the principle of electromagnetic induction and have revolutionized the world of metal casting with their efficient and reliable melting capabilities. It is able to heat metal quickly and precisely. How Induction Furnace Work The core principle of medium frequency induction furnaces is electromagnetic induction. This principle was discovered by Michael Faraday in the early 19th century and has been widely used in various industries. Composition The IF induction furnaces consists of a crucible, which is usually made of refractory material and surrounded by a water-cooled coil. The alternating current (AC) supplied to the coil generates a rapidly alternating magnetic field around it. When a metal object is placed in this magnetic field, an electric current is induced inside the metal, which is called eddy current. Eddy currents generate heat due to the resistance of the metal, and this heat causes the metal to reach its melting point and eventually m...
