Induction heating is a very controlled and cost effective way of heating parts for bonding or joining applications. This presentation will talk about what induction is and why manufacturers are switching to induction over other heating processes for their joining and bonding needs. Applications covered include brazing and soldering, weld pre-heating, tube seam welding, shrink fitting, hard surfacing alloy bonding, adhesive and paint curing, heat staking, and heat sealing. Advantages to manufacturers include flexibility to process a variety of parts with relatively rapid changeover, efficient use of energy, time, and shop floor space, and economical processing of both large continuous production runs or small batch jobs.
