Induction Billet Heater

An induction heater consists of an electromagnet and an electronic oscillator that passes a high-frequency alternating current (AC) through the electromagnet. The rapidly alternating magnetic field penetrates the object, generating electric currents inside the conductor called eddy currents.The induction billet heating furnace allows for the production of billets ready for forging, extruding, hot forming, and other secondary processes. Induction billet heating furnaces are primarily used for heating steel billets and can be used at both steel mills and metal fabricators. Expanding bolts with induction is the proven time- and labour-saving alternative to inefficient flame and resistance heating. With induction, a specially designed coil is inserted into the bolt. Rapid, precisely controlled and localized heat is then induced directly in the bolt.
