Induction post-heating
Induction post-heating refers to any process where induction is used to heat workpieces or materials that have already undergone significant processing.
What is induction post-heating?
Induction post-heating refers to any process where induction is used to heat workpieces or materials that have already undergone significant processing. Metal components and welds, for example, must often be post-heated to relieve internal stresses caused by a previous process. Induction post-heating is also used to heat cable cores following extrusion.
What are the benefits?
- Induction gives speed, versatility, precision and controllability
- Heat is induced directly in the cable core; fast cross-linking of the insulation’s polymers
- Minac brings the benefits of induction to flame-free sites, such as offshore oil and gas platforms
Where is it used?
Our post-heating solutions are mainly used in the cable and wire, tube and pipe, electrotechnical and aviation industries. In the automotive industry, they post-heat rings, shafts, joints and gears; and cure corrosion-resistant brake disc covers. Induction is also used for tin re-flow applications.
What equipment is available?
Stationary ENRX Sinac systems – together with numerous options and control and handle features – are widely used for cable and wire and other high volume applications. Mobile Minac systems bring
induction solutions to offshore platforms, wind farms, power stations, etc.
