Induction Welding process And Application

INDUCTION WELDING

That welding process in which weld is produced by the the heat obtained from the resistance of the weldment to flow of an an induced electrical current is known as induction welding.

process : In opreation a high current is induced with both edges of the work close to where weld is to be made .Heating to welding temperature is extremely rapid and the joint is completed by pressure rolls or contacts.A form  of induction welding known as high-frequency welding is similar except that the current is supplied to the conductor being welded by direct contact.High -frequency current flow near the surface of the metal and as heating is almost instantaneous,there as chance of hamful oxides high frequency welding.
Application ; It is a high -speed process and is best suited for high production use. Welding speed ranges from 60 m/mt to 300 m/mt. It is now,being used for most metals ,e.g,copper and copper alloys,nickel ,zirconium and many types of steels.
