An induction furnace is a type of electric furnace that uses electromagnetic induction to heat and melt metals. It consists of a coil of copper wire through which alternating current flows, creating a magnetic field. This magnetic field induces electric currents in the metal charge, generating heat due to electrical resistance, allowing for efficient melting. Induction furnaces are commonly used in foundries and metalworking industries for producing steel, iron, and other alloys. They offer advantages such as precise temperature control, reduced energy consumption, and minimal emissions compared to traditional furnaces. This makes them a popular choice for modern metal production.
