Elements of Induction Heating: Design Control and Applications

Stanley Zinn, S. L. Semiatin

Abstract

This book provides an excellent overview of the range of applications of induction heating with methods by which conventional as well as special heating jobs can be designed around the capabilities of the process. The book discusses the theory of induction heating, tuning of induction heating circuits and load matching and summarizes major equipment considerations in designing induction heating systems. Design procedures are thoroughly covered for heat treating. Includes a detailed discussion on fundamentals of process control for a variety of induction heating issues. Contents includes: Introduction Theory of Induction Heating Tuning of Induction Heating Circuits and Load Matching Induction Heating Power Supplies Auxiliary Equipment for Induction Heating Process Design for Specific Applications Fundamentals of Process Control Coil Design and Fabrication Flux Concentrators, Shields, and Susceptors Materials Handling Special Applications of Induction Heating Economics Index
