An induction heater is an interesting device, allowing one to rapidly heat a metal object. Induction Heating Fundamentals. Induction Heater. High Frequency Induction Heating. Introduction Induction heating is a non-contact heating process.
It uses high frequency electricity to heat materials that are electrically conductive. Since it is non-contact, the heating process does not contaminate the material being heated. It is also very efficient since the heat is actually generated inside the workpiece. This can be contrasted with other heating methods where heat is generated in a flame or heating element, which is then applied to the workpiece.
