TY Induction heating provides a controlled method of localized heating without touching the part (component) being heated. Heat is generated by inducting an alternating magnetic field into a conductive material. Induction heating technology has very low operating costs and often results in significant cost savings compared to other traditional process heating technologies.

Applications

Preheating and maintaining welding temperatures

Hydrogen baking

Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) up to 1450° F

Shrink fit processes

Various other applications requiring heat

Industries

Oil and Gas

Structural

Power plants

Petrochemical/refineries

Process/Power Pipelines

Pressure Vessels

Shipyards

Mining

This highly efficient technology uses non-contact heating to induce heat electromagnetically rather than using a propane torch or resistance heating. Through induction, the part becomes its own heating element and is heated from within. This makes induction very efficient because there is virtually no heat loss in the process.

The time to reach temperature is much faster than with flame or resistance heating - reducing cycle time. Set-up and tear-down times are fast, and unlike flame or resistance, induction allows continuous heating and fabrication.

Induction heating reduces operating costs because the target temperature is reached much faster, resulting in lower consumable costs and labor expenses. In addition, it eliminates the cost of gas, firefighters and heating subcontractors.

Provides excellent joint temperature uniformity. Induction eliminates the inconsistencies and quality problems associated with flame or resistance heating.
