What are the parameters of the induction furnace

In the metal thermal processing industry, the induction furnace has the characteristics of fast heating speed, uniform heating temperature, energy saving and environmental protection in the process, and is a very suitable electric furnace equipment for users. When users choose an induction furnace, there are some parameter choices that need to be understood in advance. Xiaobian from Luoyang Hongteng will introduce the selection of induction furnace parameters.

1. Determine the material of the heated metal

Induction furnace is a metal heating equipment, which can be used for steel, iron, gold, silver, alloy copper, alloy aluminum, stainless steel and other metal materials. The heating process of various metal materials is different, so when determining the parameters of the induction furnace, it is first necessary to determine the material of the metal to be heated.

2. Determine the heating temperature of the heated metal material

For the induction furnace, the most important parameter is the heating temperature. The heating temperature is different for different heating purposes. The appropriate heating temperature should be selected according to the heating process requirements.

For example, the heating temperature for forging is generally 1200 °C, the heating temperature for heat treatment and tempering is 450 °C–1100 °C, and the heating temperature for casting and melting is about 1700 °C.

3. Determine the size of the metal workpiece to be heated

The heating of the metal workpiece by the furnace has a great relationship with the weight of the metal workpiece. The weight of the metal workpiece has a certain relationship with the heat absorbed by the metal workpiece. It needs to be heated to different temperatures in a unit time. The workpiece with high temperature requires the heating power of the intermediate frequency induction furnace to be high. big.

4. Determine the productivity of the induction furnace

Among the parameters of induction furnace, productivity is a parameter. We need to formulate a reasonable production plan in advance and determine the production quantity per year, month or shift. The production quantity can help us determine the detailed production rate of the electric furnace.

5. Other parameters

When the induction furnace is used for forging heating, the required parameters: heating material, workpiece dimensions, workpiece weight, heating temperature, heating efficiency, feeding method, temperature measurement method, cooling method, transformer capacity and number of phases, floor space and venue conditions.

This is what we have shared today about induction furnace parameters and hope to help you. Welcome to Luoyang Hongteng, let us provide you with more furnace services.
