High frequency is used in induction furnaces for several reasons:
1. Efficient Heating: High frequency electricity allows for efficient heating of materials that are electrically conductive. This is because the high frequency currents induce eddy currents in the material, which in turn generate heat. This method of heating is non-contact and does not contaminate the material being heated.
2. Faster Melting: The use of high frequency in induction furnaces allows for faster melting times. The high frequency currents generate heat rapidly, resulting in quicker melting of the material.
3. Precision Temperature Control: High frequency induction furnaces offer precise temperature control. The induction heating process allows for accurate control of the temperature and composition of the molten metal.
4. Uniform Heating: The electromagnetic stirring effect caused by high frequency currents ensures uniform temperature and structure of the melting metal. This leads to less dross and impurities, as well as a more uniform metal composition.
5. Lower Energy Loss: Compared to traditional heating methods, induction furnaces have less heat loss. They use induction heating, which heats the metal directly, and have thermal insulation materials to reduce heat loss. This results in higher thermal efficiency and lower overall energy consumption.
6. Versatility: High frequency induction furnaces can melt a wide range of metals, including non-ferrous metals and ferrous metals. They are also suitable for melting precious metals, such as platinum, gold, and silver.
7. All-Round Protection Function: Induction furnaces equipped with high frequency power supplies have built-in protection functions, such as alarms for faults like over voltage, over current, over hot, and water shortage. This ensures higher reliability and durability of the furnace.
8. Easy Installation and Operation: High frequency induction furnaces are easy to install and operate. They allow for good casting quality, fast melting temperature rise, convenient crucible replacement, and simplified manual operation.
In conclusion, high frequency is used in induction furnaces because it enables efficient, fast, and precise heating of electrically conductive materials. It offers advantages such as lower energy loss, uniform heating, and a wide range of metal melting capabilities.
