Induction heating is accomplished by placing a conductive part (normally steel) inside or near an induction coil. When power is applied to the coil a magnetic field is generated and energy is conducted to the steel components of the part. Similar to microwave heating of water, the steel components become excited. This magnetic field is converted very quickly to heat. HeatTek utilizes this principal in processing various components in preheating or post heating applications to minimize the processing times. Induction power supplies are sized to handle each application based on the mass and production rates of each application.
