What is the frequency range of induction furnace? (5 key points)

The frequency range of an induction furnace typically operates between 50 to 400 kHz.

This range can extend higher based on specific operational requirements such as melting speed, type of material, and the volume of the furnace.

For smaller volumes of melts, higher frequencies are typically used.

The choice of frequency is crucial as lower frequencies offer greater penetration into the metal, a phenomenon known as skin depth.

1. Operating Principle of Induction Furnaces

What is the frequency range of induction furnace? (5 key points)

The induction furnace operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction.

An alternating current is passed through a coil to generate a magnetic field.

This field induces eddy currents in the metal, causing it to heat up and melt.

The frequency of the current directly influences the efficiency and effectiveness of the heating process.

2. Frequency and Metal Volume

Lower frequencies (such as those at the lower end of the 50-400 kHz range) are beneficial for larger volumes of metal.

They provide deeper penetration, allowing for more uniform heating and melting.

Conversely, higher frequencies are used for smaller volumes as they can heat the metal more quickly and efficiently.

3. Medium Frequency Electric Furnaces

An electric induction furnace, also known as a medium frequency electric furnace, operates at frequencies generally between 150-8000 Hz.

This categorization into medium frequencies is significant for different applications within the induction heating domain.

Such as medium frequency heating furnaces, melting furnaces, and others.

4. Types of Induction Heating Power Supplies

The text differentiates between various types of induction heating power supplies.

Such as medium frequency and super audio frequency, each with its specific frequency ranges and applications.

For instance, medium frequency induction heating machines, which operate between 1kHz and 10kHz, are typically used for large-scale operations like tempering, quenching, and heating of large workpieces.

5. Flexibility in Frequency Selection

The frequency range of an induction furnace is tailored to meet specific operational needs.

With a typical range of 50 to 400 kHz, adjustable based on factors like the volume and type of material being melted.

This flexibility in frequency selection ensures optimal performance and efficiency in various industrial applications.
