Steel billet induction heating furnace is a widely used heat treatment equipment in the steel industry. Its main function is to heat steel billets to the required temperature through electrical energy to meet the requirements of different production processes.
1、 Classification of steel billet heating electric furnaces:
According to the heating method, steel billet induction heating furnaces are mainly divided into two categories: induction heating electric furnaces and resistance heating electric furnaces.
a. Induction heating electric furnace: Using the principle of electromagnetic induction, eddy currents are generated inside the steel billet through induction coils, causing the billet to quickly heat up. Suitable for large-scale, high-efficiency continuous production.
b. Resistance heating electric furnace: using resistance to convert electrical energy into thermal energy, directly heating the surface or the entire steel billet. Suitable for small-scale production and processes that require high temperature accuracy.
2、 Working principle of steel billet induction heating furnace:
a. Induction heating electric furnace: The electromagnetic field generated by the induction coil causes eddy currents inside the steel billet, and the resistance generated by the eddy currents quickly heats up the steel billet.
b. Resistance heating electric furnace: Current passes through the steel billet to generate resistance heat, causing the steel billet to heat up. The heating temperature can be controlled by adjusting the current intensity and time.

3、 Application of steel billet induction heating furnace:
a. Steel smelting: used for preheating, temperature regulation, and homogenization of steel billets to improve steelmaking efficiency.
b. Metal processing: used for metal heat treatment to improve the mechanical properties and microstructure of metals.
4、 Steel billet induction heating furnace operation:
a. Strictly follow the operation manual to ensure safe production.
b. Control the heating temperature, time, and current intensity to ensure uniform heating.
c. Regularly check the operating status of the equipment, promptly identify and resolve faults.
As an important heat treatment equipment in the steel industry, the steel billet induction heating furnace plays an irreplaceable role in improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality. Reasonable selection, correct operation, and regular maintenance will ensure its stable and reliable operation, meeting the production needs of different processes.
