High frequency of electricity is passed through a coil and is most often used in steel alloys. The amount of heat and the size of the coil will help to determine the amount of time needed for the project being undertaken.

What is induction heating?

Induction heating is the process of heating an electrically conducting object (usually a metal) by electromagnetic induction, where eddy currents are generated within the metal and resistance leads to Joule heating of the metal.induction heater including high frequency induction heating machine and middle frequencey heating machine. Induction heating applications for an induction furnace include induction welding, induction brazing, induction hardening, induction melting, quenching, forging, soldening, induction annealing and other forms of heat treatment. Induction heating is often used to heat graphite crucibles (containing other materials) and is used extensively in the semiconductor industry for the heating of silicon and other semiconductors. Induction heating can produce high power densities which allow short interaction times to reach the required temperature. That translates into lots of energy transferred into a material right now, with a very rapid rise in temperature.


What materials are suitable for natural gas piping?

Pretty much anything - in the UK steel, copper, polyethylene and PVC are all used where suitable.


What is case hardening?

Case hardening or surface hardening is the process of hardening the surface of a metal, often a low carbon steel, by infusing elements into the material's surface, forming a thin layer of a harder alloy.

Why aluminum vessels are not used in induction cooker?

Plain aluminum vessel are not suitable in an induction cooker because aluminum does not have magnetic properties. However, if the bottom of aluminum cookware has a magnetic layer added to it, then you can use it. Induction cooking, which relies on an electromagnet to heat a vessel, requires that the cooking vessel have ferromagnetic materials like cast iron and stainless steel.

Would hardening oil make it healthier?

Hardening sunflower oil makes it a solid at room temperature which is suitable for spreading so I don't think that it makes much difference. I could be wrong though. Sorry!

What utensils can be used on a induction cook top?

In general, if a magnet attracts to the bottom of the cookware, it can be used on a induction cooktop. Aluminum, glass, ceramic, copper are not suitable for induction. Cast iron and some stainless steels are good. Carry a small magnet when shopping for induction cookware. The manufacturers will often state "induction ready" or similar wording on the packaging.
