In the present work, the heat transfer behavior during induction heating of a cylindrical aluminum billet is performed numerically. The heating process is represented by the energy conservation equation where the heat generation during heating is added as a volumetric source term. The evolution of latent heat during melting is also added as a volumetric source term. The continuity and the momentum conservation equations are considered to represent the flow field after melting starts. These governing equations are solved based on the control volume method. The enthalpy update scheme is used for evolution of melt-fraction during heating. The work predicts the evolution of temperature during heating, the distributions of temperature and melt-fraction in the domain. Subsequently, a parametric study is also performed.

Induction heating is one of the most popular metal heating technologies because of its high heating rate and high energy efficiency. This method is suitable for heating workpieces/blanks in different shapes, sizes and materials. Induction heating of metal sheets has been investigated by various research organizations and industrial companies. However, information concerning the induction heating of aluminium blanks is limited. Further, investigations were required by industries to address the issues relating to the uneven temperature distributions developed in the metal sheets so that an optimized design could be developed to help the enhancement of the technology. Aiming at the study of the induction heating process for hot stamping, especially the temperature distribution developed in the aluminium sheets, this paper presents in-depth analysis of induction heating using 3D FE simulations, involving uses of DEFORM and COMSOL. Different coil arrangements, level of powers, frequencies, cycle times, etc. have been modelled and simulated to examine their effects on the heating efficiency and developed temperature profiles in the Aluminium sheets. It is revealed from the simulations that design features in the induction coils like shapes of cross-sections and angles of coil corners affect the uniformity of the developed temperatures in the metal sheets. Heating with an optimized combination of the coil design and the power setting could help to achieve higher heating rates and temperature uniformity. Nevertheless, the application could be constrained by some practical factors.

In this article, the line heating forming technology by using the moveable induction heating is used to form a concave-type plate. In shipyard, it is necessary to get a bigger contraction deformation at the plate edge for the concave plate. However, the heat input of the metal near the plate edge is less than that of the internal metal along the heating line due to the decrease of heat power near the plate edge, thus causing smaller transverse shrinkage of the plate edge. To solve this problem, the paper investigates the suitable heating way of the inductor for the concave plate forming. An electromagnetic coupling finite element model is built to simulate the moveable induction heating process and reveal different heating and forming characteristic of different inductor heating ways. The simulation results are verified by experiments data. Research results showed that the heating way by which the inductor moves out of plate edge is an effective heating technology which meets the forming requirement of the concave plate.

Abstract This study focuses on two major advantages of induction heating over flame heating in the treatment of coated boiler tubes. In both cases the induction heating process is simple, fast and effective. Firstly, we will show how the the use of induction heating results in exceptionally thick and hard coatings with low porosity. Having high corrosion and wear resistant properties, the products can satisfy industry's needs for reliable coatings with a long service life. Next, the study will detail how a pipe with the coating already applied can be simultaneously bent by induction heating while the coating is melted and fused to the pipe. The result is a thicker, more even and reliable coating than that accomplished by the flame sprayed method on a bent pipe. The process is not only less cumbersome, but again provides a superior product for the market.
