Advanced Induction Coil Design

Induction Heating Coils are essential components of the whole installation and their design and manufacturing quality are extremely important.


Before commencing an advanced induction coil design, a detailed analysis of specifications, available equipment and the environment as well are required. Sometimes, a "design for induction heating"strategy may be applied which includes:

  • Modification of heat pattern specifications
  • Part geometry modification
  • Part Material Change
  • Sequence of induction heating operations
Induction Heating coil style and heating process selection must be decided on beforehand, be in scanning, single shot, static, etc. A computer simulation should be run for optimization of the coil head as well as an analysis of the benefits of the magnetic flux controller application.  The coil should be engineered with the design of the coil head, leads, structural components, quenchant supply, etc. all in mind.  

Sometimes advanced manufacturing techniques should be tested in a laboratory or industrial plant to determine performance parameters and to decide if any final corrections may be required.
