Induction forging uses induction heating, which is a controlled and energy-efficient form of heating.
Benefits of induction forging:
- Less oxidation
- Consistent temperature
- Repeatability
- Increase productivity
- Controlled and precise process
- Clean heating process
Induction forging machines usually use an induction heating power supply with a medium frequency frequency. The power and frequency of the power supply are selected according to the size of the workpiece and the speed of heating.
The following are commonly used frequencies and power supplies:
- When heating tiny workpieces, the usual machine frequency is 30 kHz – 80 kHz. This is the high-frequency induction heating machine, and its power is usually 15 kW – 60 kW.
- When heating small and medium-sized bars and workpieces, the frequency of choice is usually 1 kHz – 10 kHz. Its induction power supply usually has a power range of 15 kW-200 kW. For example, for induction forging steel bars with a diameter of 30mm, we use IGBT medium frequency induction heating machines.
- When heating large bars and workpieces, the frequency of induction forging machines is generally 500 Hz – 1000 Hz. Its power is usually above 100 kW. Such as induction forging billets with larger diameters.
Induction forging furnaces can use a number of different cooling methods. Users need to determine the type of cooling system according to the power of the induction heating machine and the situation of the factory.
- Simple water cooling system.It is the water cooling system with the lowest investment cost and mainly consists of water tank and water pump. The cooling water in the water tank is pumped into the machine to reduce the temperature inside the machine. The high temperature water will flow back to the water tank for recycling.
- Industrial chiller.Industrial chillers mainly reduce the water temperature through the compressor, thereby reducing the temperature inside the machine. Industrial chillers have higher cooling efficiency and a smaller footprint, but they are more expensive.
- Cooling tower.Cooling towers can be divided into two categories: open water cooling towers and closed water cooling towers. The open cooling tower is large in volume and low in running cost. The closed cooling tower is smaller in volume, with higher cooling efficiency.
