Induction Heat Basics
Induction heating is a process used to heat electrically conductive materials, such as ferrous metals, through electromagnetic induction. When a conductive material is placed within an induction coil, it enters a magnetic field generated by the coil. This magnetic field induces circulating eddy currents within the material. The eddy currents flow against the electrical resistivity of the material, generating heat. This heat is produced internally within the object, rather than being applied externally
Since the heat is generated internally and there is no open flame, induction heating is a safer alternative to traditional heating methods like torches.

How Does Induction Heating Work?
Induction Innovations’ state-of-the-art inverters are designed to harness wasted energy that is normally dissipated through large massive heat sinks, typically found in earlier designs. This redirected energy is added to the workload (i.e. sheet metal, nuts, bolts, bearings, etc.) giving you more actual working power on the output end. Others may claim more input power but their output power doesn’t compare.
