Induction heating is a process used to bond, harden, or soften metals and other conductive materials. For modern manufacturing, it offers an optimal combination of speed, consistency, control, and energy efficiency.

The basic principles of induction heating have been applied to manufacturing since the 1920s. During World War II, the technology advanced rapidly to meet urgent requirements for hardening metal engine parts. Today, with lean manufacturing techniques and improved quality control, induction technology has been rediscovered alongside the development of precisely controlled, solid-state induction power supplies.

When an alternating electrical current is applied to a transformer's primary coil, it creates an alternating magnetic field. According to Faraday's Law, if a secondary coil is placed within this field, an electric current is induced.

In induction heating, a power supply sends AC current through a copper coil (inductor), with the workpiece placed inside. The inductor acts as the primary transformer, while the workpiece becomes a short-circuit secondary. When metal enters this magnetic field, circulating eddy currents are induced within the part, generating heat.
