The induction heating is widely used not only in the industrial fields but also in the home appliances. But the conventional induction heating systems have shortcoming that it use only magnetic utensil, in this paper, heating of Aluminum sheet by full-bridge series resonant high-frequency inverter is proposed. Also, the principle of induction heating and operations of full-bridge inverter equivalent circuit are explained. The proposed inverter controls the output voltage using phase-shift irrespective of the switching frequency using phase-shift. As a result the proposed induction heating system by full-bridge resonant inverter shows the possibility that make up for the shortcoming of the conventional existing induction heating systems.

Induction heating is commonly used in process heating prior to metal working and in heat treationg, welding, and melting. For an analysis of induction heating system, it is necessary to calculate eddy currents in conductors induced by a source current. This study examines the use of the Impedance Boundary Condition for the reduction of the field problem encountered in the computation of eddy currents in non-magnetic and magnetic conductors with small penetration depths to a simpler exterior problem. The electric field intensities on the conductor surfaces computed by using the IBC are compared with the values obtained from the full region solution (i.e. without the use of IBC) and those agree well with the latter.

In this Paper are described the indirect induction heated boiler and induction heated hot air producer using the voltage-fed series resonant high-frequency inverter which can operate in the frequency range from 20kHz to 50kHz. A specially designed induction heater, which is composed of laminated stainless assembly with many tiny holes and interconnected spot welding points between stainless plates, is inserted into the ceramic type vessel with external working coil. This working coil is connected to the inverter and turbulence fluid through this induction heater to moving fluid generates in the vessel. The operating performances of this unique appliance in next generation and its effectiveness are evaluated and discussed from a practical point of view.

The reheating of the billet in the semi-solid state as quickly and homogeneously as possible is one of the most important aspects. From this point of view, an optimal design of the induction coil is necessary. The objective of inductive coil designsi a uniform induction heating over the length of the billet. The effect of coil length, diameter, the gap between coil surface and billet and axial position of the billet on temperature distribution of billet has been investigated. These design parameters have an important effectiveness on the electro-magnetic field. Therefore, in this study an optimal coil design to minimize electromagnetic ed effect will be proposed by defining the relationship between billet length and coil length. In particular, key point in induction heating process is focussed on optimizing the coil design with regard to the size of the heating billet and the frequency of induction heating system. After demonstrating the suitability of an optimal coil design through the FEM simulation of the induction heating process, the results of the coil design are also applied to the reheating process to obtain a fine globular microstructure. Its considered that the reheating conditions of aluminum alloys for thixoforging and a new CAE model of the induction heating process are very useful for thixoforging practitioners including induction heating ones.

Many processing times for fabricating complex shaped parts by near net shape process such as thixoforming or semi-solid forming, are required due to the time for die design, induction heating and forming process. Therefore, for the thixoforming process, multi-capacity induction heating process is very important due to the reduction of the processing time and cost. It is indispensable to adopt a power-time heating pattern which manages to conciliate complete eutectic melting at the core with limited overheating at the periphery. The total reheating time is thus dependent on billet diameter; in inches$(pm20%)$. Typically, high frequency is used for the rapid reheating of the billet to the eutectic temperature range and low frequency for the remelting of the desired fraction of liquid and for the radial homogeneization of the liquid fraction. So in this study, the multi-capacity induction heating conditions of ALTHIX 86s alloy to reduce the processing time and cost would be proposed. The suitability of multi-capacity induction heating conditions would be verified through the comparison to Garat's data.

In this paper, an all-metal domestic induction heating (IH) system that can quickly identify ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic pots considering temperature changes in the working coil is designed. Load modeling is performed after analyzing the parameters of the pot material and the central misalignment of the working coil. To improve the performance and stability of the all-metal IH cooking heater, a power curve-fitting model is used to design a control system that quickly responds to load parameter fluctuations. In addition, a power control algorithm is established to compensate for the reference value by reflecting the increase in working coil temperature during heating of the non-ferromagnetic pot. The validity of the proposed control algorithm for the all-metal IH is verified by experiments using a 3.2 kW all-metal IH cooking heater.

Research on induction heating catalyst system was conducted to solve problems of the existing catalyst system for removing volatile organic compounds. In the present study, three types of Ni-based commercial catalysts were employed, and induction heating reaction characteristics including the catalyst volume, composition, heat treatment atmosphere, and position in the coil were investigated. The composition and volume of the catalyst affected the exothermic and toluene oxidation performance in the induction heating system. In particular, the Fe-added catalyst showed high exothermic performance compared to that of other catalysts consisting of more than 99% Ni, but had low toluene oxidation performance. In addition, the heat treatment in an air atmosphere of the Ni-based catalyst drastically reduced the performance. In the induction heating system, the optimal condition for the catalyst was to be located in the center of the coil. The catalyst showed similar activities among seven repeated experiments under the optimal condition derived from this work.

Induction heating is the process in which an electrically conducting object (usually a metal) is heated by electromagnetic induction through heat generated in the object by eddy currents. The main advantage of an induction heating device is the generation of the heat inside the target object itself. Hence, non-contact and safe heating devices are widely used in many industrial and medical fields. Recently, a new dental implant system was developed using a shape-memory alloy, wherein an artificial tooth could be easily removed from the dental implant by heating. This paper discusses the development of an induction-heating device to remove the dental crown in the new implant system. First, the finite element simulation of electromagnetic and thermal coupling analysis was implemented to obtain the temperature distributions of the target object for various frequencies, input currents, and coil shapes. Based on the simulation results, experiments were conducted by using prototypes, and an induction heating device was developed to remove the dental crown from the implant.
