A client was looking to heat a Tungsten rod with a silicon carbide cover to 1200 oC (2192 oF) in 90 seconds. A 4" (102 mm) heat zone was required for this application. Heating needed to take place in a vacuum atmosphere. They turned to THE LAB at Ambrell to design a heating solution for their research process.

A client needed to heat 0.06" (1.5 mm) stainless steel tubing to 1950 oF (1066 oC) prior to swaging or shaping. They turned to THE LAB at Ambrell to design a heating solution for their manufacturing process. The objective was to heat the tubing to the targeted temperature within five seconds. The end product is used in the medical industry.

Industrial Heating published an article from Ambrell titled "10 Considerations When Selecting an Induction Heating System." The article discusses the following ten factors to consider when going through the purchase process for an induction heating system:
- Your Part's Material
- Depth of Heating Penetration
- Operation Frequency
- Applied Power
- Rise in Temperature Required
- Coil Design
- Coupling Efficiency
- Your Facility and its Footprint
- Additional Heating Requirements
- Industrial Expertise
