What is Susceptor Heating?
A susceptor is induction heated, conducting energy to the work material. Susceptors are made from silicon carbide, molybdenum, graphite, stainless steels and other conductive materials.
Induction generates an electromagnetic field in a work coil that induces currents in the conductive material of a workpiece placed within or near the coil. Friction from these currents elevates the temperature of the susceptor.
Induction susceptor heating Benefits
-
Meets tight production tolerances with precise localized heat to small areas creating pinpoint accuracy
-
Increases production rates with faster heating cycles
-
Reduces defect rates with repeatable, reliable heat
-
Eliminates variability from operator-to-operator, shift-to-shift
-
Maintains metallurgical characteristics of the individual metals

Soldering Co-axial Wire to a Metal Frame
Given the small size of the part and the assembly's geometry, a graphite cylinder was required as a susceptor.
