What is an Induction Furnace?

An induction furnace is a type of electric furnace where heat is applied by induction heating of metal. These furnaces utilize an alternating electromagnetic field to generate heat directly within the metal. Typically, they operate using medium-frequency alternating current (AC), ranging from a few hundred Hertz (Hz) to several kilohertz (kHz). The core component is a coil through which an alternating current is passed, creating an electromagnetic field that induces currents within the metal, causing it to heat up and melt.

The Role of Induction Furnace

Induction furnaces play a crucial role in modern steelmaking processes, particularly for medium and small-sized operations. They offer a cleaner and more energy-efficient alternative to traditional melting methods, enabling the production of high-quality steel with reduced environmental impact. Induction furnaces are ideal for melting various types of metals, including steel, aluminum, and copper, making them versatile and essential in the metallurgical industry.

Why Choose Induction Furnaces?

The Restriction of Induction Furnace

However, it is important to acknowledge the limitations of induction furnaces. One such limitation is the lack of refining capacity. This means that the quality of the final product can be significantly influenced by the initial quality of the scrap metal used. Therefore, careful selection of scrap is essential and must be tailored to the specific type of steel being produced. And it is impossible to smelt low-carbon steel with low carbon, phosphorus and sulfur.

To address the inherent limitations of induction furnaces, Shanghai Metallurgy Equipment Group has developed an innovative solution: the Induction Furnace – LOD – LRF system. This breakthrough technology retains the advantages of low cost and easy operation while significantly enhancing the refining capabilities.
