Bore Heating with Electromagnetic Induction

[MrStoneClark]

This is what heats the center of the earth. The universe is electric people! Thanks for the video. Peace

what is this song?

[DJMOSFET85]

what a song name

[TheGreatestEmpire]

dood now we can make real lightsabers!!

[themainproblem]

Nice demonstration.  Well done.

[mistameanor420]

you said it can heat ANY metal ?

even non-magnetic aluminum? xD

[adammorrison75]

@mistameanor420 : ANY METAL can be heated by induction. It is a common misconception that the material has to be non-magnetic. Induction heating can occur via two methods. The first is hysteresis heating which only applies to magnetic materials in which the magnetic domain are switched rapidly causing internal frictional heating. The second method is eddy current heating and applies to all metals/conductive materials, including carbon fiber and molten glass.

[mistameanor420]

@adammorrison75 ah my mistake, thanks for clarifying. Magnetic field passing through a conductor is the key, not whether or not that conductor is a ferrous metal

[adammorrison75]

@mistameanor420 : Eddy current heating is intetnal electrical resistive heating caused by the electrical resistance of the metal providing resistance to the induced electrical current flow created by the induction heater. This is very similar to the way an electrical transformer works. The induction coil is the primary and the metal being heated is the secondary of the circuit.

@adammorrison75 HmmI didn't know the second method you talked about before..

Thanks for explaining :)

[PodeCoet]

Fantastic!

[SHCEMAIN]

cool hi whats the awsome music name

[getyourpizzanow]

use in paintball barrels?

[adammorrison75]

it is possible. a smaller inductor would be required to fit the ID of the barrel. If you are wanting to remove paint, only 400F is required. Depending on the production requirements, systems start at about $8000.00 USD.

[DamperenDK]

wouldnt that just weaken the metal?

[adammorrison75]

It all depends on the applications. The application in the video illustrates a repair operation in which the material is going to be replaced so annealing (weakening) the metal is OK. Induction heating can heat any metal to any temperature as requrired by the application. For example, to cure glue, the induction heater may only heat the metal to 140C. Induction heating is very controllable and very precise.

$27,000!!!??? thats a nice tool but $27,000?

[adammorrison75]

In many cases, it actually pays for itself on the first job.

[Mikeymonk]

@adammorrison75

I need that job...

[jimjim2237]

woah i want that lol

[trustthewater]

Wow. wow...

I know it's not as impressive looking, but you should do this again and get it so the steel gets that nice blue temper going. I think THAT would be a real show of control.

[adammorrison75]

Thanks for the comment! I understand what you are saying. Our video shows the power and speed of induction but doesn't show the full benefit of precise control. Our induction heating systems can be controlled to within 0.5% of their rating. We sell $Millions each year to automotive companies to precisely heat treat and temper gears, axles, etc.... We're talking case depths measure in thousandths of an inch and harness specifications of +/- 0.5HRC!

IT'S A SHAME THEY ONLY LET ME LIKE THE VIDEO ONE TIME. GREAT STUFF.

[dumle29]

were do you get these (if you do) and how much do they cost?

[adammorrison75]

You can purchase them from Ajax TOCCO. Where are you located, we'll have a local sales rep to visit you and discuss your application requirements. The list price for this system is $27,000 USD.

@adammorrison75

well that might be a little too expensive for my intensions XD i just wanted to have fun with using it. and i live in denmark so i dont think you have a retailer here :D

[318Captain]

that is awesome
