An induction heating furnace-also known as a diathermic furnace-belongs to the category of induction furnaces and is developed and manufactured by Chinese enterprises.
The fundamental principle of a vacuum induction melting furnace is to melt metal under vacuum conditions using induction heating.
In this process, an alternating current is passed through an induction coil to generate an alternating magnetic field; this induces eddy currents within the metal, thereby generating the heat required for melting.
A vacuum system evacuates air from the furnace to create a low-pressure environment, preventing metal oxidation and contamination during the melting process.
