ABOUT BOOK

Induction heating is a physical process extensively used in the metallurgical industry for different applications involving metal melting. The main components of an induction heating ~ ~system are an induction coil connected to a power-supply providing an alternating electric ~ ~current and a conductive workpiece to be heated, placed inside the coil. The alternating ~ ~current traversing the coil generates eddy currents in the workpiece and by means of ohmic ~ ~losses the workpiece is heated
