ELECTRIC INDUCTION HEAT TREATMENT OF LONGITUDINALLY-ORIENTED WORKPIECES

摘要

Multiple longitudinally oriented continuous workpieces move through separate longitudinally oriented through gaps in an open box rectangular ferromagnetic material that has multiple longitudinally oriented through gaps. A transverse magnetic flux established in each through gap inductively heats the workpiece moving through each through gap. Alternatively a single longitudinally oriented workpiece moving through a single adjustable width longitudinally oriented through gap in an open box rectangular ferromagnetic material is inductively heated by a transverse flux established in the adjustable width longitudinally oriented through gap.
