Induction heating

Induction heating is the process of heating a metal object by placing a wound coil carrying high current at close proximity to the object to be heated. Through the process of induction the metal can be heated to a variety of temperatures in anywhere from 10 seconds to 2 minutes. This technology is being adopted into the domestic kitchen heating in the form of the induction cooker. This process can also be used for eliminating unwanted oxygen gas in vacuum tubes and for high volume industrial welding.
