Materials Testing with Induction Heating

In materials testing, the relationship between the structure and the properties of materials are studied. This research often assesses important factors such as quality, safety and reliability and it is often used to produce new and better materials. Common applications and industries for materials testing includes microelectronics, mining, automotive, aerospace, nanotechnology, failure analysis, forensic engineering and more. Biomaterials, nanomaterials, polymers, thin films and ceramics are often areas of interest in this field.

Induction heating provides reliable, repeatable, precise, non-contact and energy-efficient heat in a minimal amount of time and is often the perfect fit for materials testing.

About Induction Heating

Induction heating is a fast, efficient, precise and repeatable non-contact method for heating metals or other electrically-conductive materials. The material may be a metal such as brass, aluminum, copper or steel or it can be a semiconductor such as silicon carbide, carbon or graphite. To heat non-conductive materials such as plastics or glass, induction is used to heat an electrically-conductive susceptor, typically graphite, which then transfers the heat to the non-conducting material.
