The crucible is heated using an induction coil with a four turn pancake at the base that extends upward into a three turn helical coil.
Induction Melting aluminum in a graphite crucible for casting
Induction Melting aluminum in a graphite crucible for casting
Induction melting provides hands-free heating that involves no operator skill for manufacturing, repeatable, dependable results, more efficient and cost effective then gas furnace, does not heat up the manufacturing area and increases production.
Hermetic sealing: SS rods & glass preforms
Hermetic sealing: SS rods & glass preforms
Induction melting provides hands-free heating that involves no operator skill for manufacturing, amounts of glass are precisely controlled by the glass preforms and even flow of glass creates aesthetically pleasing bond.
Remove plastic coating from steel tubes
Remove plastic coating from steel tubes
Induction melting is the only feasible way to remove the plastic coating, leaving it in an unpolluted form for recycling. It is a faster process

The bonded assembly is placed (glass up) within a helical coil which circles the bonding slug. Induction heats the material to the melting point in 5-7 seconds.
Induction Melting Glass for Fiber Drawing
Induction Melting Glass for Fiber Drawing
To heat a metal susceptor vessel to 2200°F within 25 minutes with induction for a fiberglass melting application
Induction Melting of Ticonium and Nobilium ingots
Induction Melting of Ticonium and Nobilium ingots
Due to the small size of the ingots, RF induction melting was required to efficiently couple to the samples in order to provide the necessary power to initiate melting.
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.
