Abstract
This chapter deals with some specific applications of induction and direct resistance heating, that have been investigated also by the authors of this book. When available, analytical solutions for these ‘special’ applications are provided. Section 4.1 is about the resistance heating of ferromagnetic workpieces of rectangular cross-section, Sect. 4.2 describes the direct resistance heating of bended conductors. The transverse flux heating is a technology that is applied for treating thin slabs and stripes with high electrical efficiency and is the topic of the Sect. 4.3. Planar coils, often named pancake inductors, are described in the Sect. 4.4, while the effects due to the finite length of inductor are discussed in Sect. 4.5. Induction hardening of workpieces of complex geometry is one of the most important applications of induction heating, single and dual frequency processes for contour hardening are presented in Sect. 4.6. The innovative process of through heating by rotating a nonferrous billet inside a DC field produced by superconductive coils is detailed in Sect. 4.7, while in Sect. 4.8 the induction heating is produced by rotation of permanent magnets. Section 4.9 deals with the induction heating of hollow workpieces heated by internal inductors and Sect. 4.10 describes the forces acting in induction heating applications.
