INDUCTION HEATING HEAD FOR MELTING AND SUPPLYING METAL MATERIAL

摘要

An induction heating head for melting and supplying a metal material includes an induction heating coil electrically connected to a high-frequency power source, and a magnetic core configured to provide a path of a magnetic flux induced by the induction heating coil. The magnetic core is made of a magnetic material and is formed in a hollow cylinder shape. The magnetic core includes an inlet portion through which the metal material is supplied into a bore of the magnetic core and an outlet portion from which the metal material is discharged. The outlet portion of the magnetic core is configured such that a magnetic flux passes through the metal material discharged through the outlet portion so as to heat and melt the metal material discharged from the magnetic core.
