Induction heating

Induction heating of a workpiece

Induction heating of 25mm bar

Electric stoves, such as this one, can be found in many kitchens. This stove is turned off.

Induction heating is a form of heating an electrically conductive material through the use of Eddy current. Eddy currents use a changing magnetic field. That way, heat can be transferred over short distances without the objects actually touching.
