Induction heating for forging

Induction heating as applied to the manufacture of forged constituents has changed considerably over the last small in number years. The physical principles remain unchanged on the contrary the application of experience coupl with today's electronic masterys have resulted in a far more efficient and operator friendly equipment. Kelvin D Spain, President of the Radyne Corporation discusses the improvements gained above the years.

Michael Faraday, an Englishman first discovered the principle and events of induction heating. Induction heating is the heating of a metallic constituent by applying an alternating magnetic field to an induction coil, which itself induces a similar field in the
