Customized Retainer for Induction Heating Coil

摘要

An induction heating apparatus for heat-treating a joint disposed between two work pieces. The apparatus may include a retainer that has an inner surface. The inner surface of the retainer has a profile that corresponds to a profile of the joint and portions of the work pieces. The inner surface of the retainer may further include a groove for accommodating an inductor. The inductor has a first end connected to a first terminal of a radio frequency electric current source. The inductor extends from the first terminal and along the groove before terminating at the second end that connects to a second terminal of the radio frequency electric current source.
