Intermediate frequency induction forging furnace
Intermediate frequency induction forging furnace, also known as intermediate frequency induction heating equipment, is a type of induction forging system that uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to convert electrical energy into thermal energy. It is widely used in fields such as metal induction forging and intermediate frequency quenching heat treatment. Its core is to heat the workpiece through the eddy current generated by the intermediate frequency current in the metal material, which has the advantages of fast heating speed, uniform heating, and high temperature control accuracy.
working principle
The working principle of the intermediate frequency induction forging furnace is based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction and Joule effect. Specifically, it is to rectify three-phase AC power into DC power, and then convert the DC power into adjustable intermediate frequency current, which is supplied to the intermediate frequency alternating current flowing through the resonant capacitor and induction coil. The high-density magnetic field lines generated in the induction coil cut through the metal material inside the induction coil, generating large eddy currents inside. These eddy currents also have the properties of intermediate frequency currents, that is, the free electrons of the metal itself generate heat when flowing inside the resistive metal body.
Design Features
The design features of medium frequency induction forging furnace mainly include:
Technical features: Adopting advanced technologies such as IGBT devices, high-efficiency combination resonance technology, low inductance circuit design, and large-scale digital circuits.
