Induction Heating Machine for Forging

An induction heating forging machine is a device that uses induction heating to preheat metals and shape them into desired forms utilizing a hammer or press. Induction heating is a process that uses electromagnetic induction to heat electrically conductive materials without direct contact. Induction heating forging machines are widely used in the metal and foundry industries to heat billets, bars, and bar ends of various metals such as aluminum, brass, copper, steel, and stainless steel. Induction heating forging machines offer advantages such as high speed, controllability, minimal oxidation, metallurgical integrity, and automation.

How to choose the power and frequency of forging an induction heating machine?

?To choose the power and frequency of forging induction heating machine, you need to consider several factors, such as:

• ?The thermal energy needed to raise the chosen material to the necessary temperature within the allotted time frame.
• The output frequency of the power source offers the most profound and practical penetration depth into the workpiece.
• The component geometry can also dictate power supply frequency, which can vary from about 50 Hz to 200 kHz.
• The inductor efficiency and installation in general.
• The inductor power factor characterizes the reactive power and the dimensions of the matching transformer and capacitor battery.
• The heating time and corresponding production rate.
• The hardness depth and heat pattern control.
• The electrodynamic forces cause both vibrations of the inductor and machine components and acoustic noise.
• The equipment cost and size.
