Materials and Workpieces

You should know what materials you want to heat. The kind of material affects how a 30kW induction heater works. Magnetic metals, like steel, get hot faster. This is because they use eddy currents and the hysteresis effect. Non-magnetic metals, like aluminum, do not heat as well. The table below shows how different materials react to induction:

Material Type

Heating Efficiency

Permeability Scale

Magnetic

Heats up easily with eddy currents and hysteresis

100 to 500

Non-Magnetic

Heats less efficiently, permeability is only 1

Induction can be used for many jobs. You can heat metals like aluminum. You can anneal thin steel wires. You can quench small shafts. You can braze saw blades. You can even melt metal powders. The size and thickness of your workpiece matter too. Thin pieces heat up faster. This is because most heat stays on the surface. Steel heats up faster than copper. This is because steel has higher resistivity.

Heating Goals

You need to know what you want to do with your heater. Some common goals are heat treating, brazing, soldering, melting, forging, annealing, and stress relieving. Each job may need different power and frequency. For example:

  • Heat treating and forging need deep heat, so lower frequencies are better.

  • Brazing and soldering need quick surface heat, so higher frequencies help.

  • Melting and annealing need a mix of both.

If you want to change the quality or structure of metals, you must set the induction heater to match your goal.

Production Volume

Think about how many parts you need to heat. If you have a lot, you need a fast system that can run for a long time. Big, automatic induction systems save energy and time in busy factories. If you have a small shop or do not heat many parts, you can use a smaller and cheaper heater. The size of your parts, how fast you need to work, and your workspace all matter. Even for cooking or small jobs, picking the right heater makes your work easier and saves time.

Key Features of a 30kW Induction Heater

Power and Frequency

When you look at 30kw induction heater models, check both power and frequency. Power decides how quickly you can heat things up. Frequency changes how deep the heat goes into the metal. High frequency induction gives fast surface heating. Lower frequencies are better for heating deep inside the metal. You can change the power to fit your job. This helps you use less energy and work better.

Tip: Use higher frequencies for surface jobs. Use lower frequencies for heating thick pieces.

Coil Design

The coil is a very important part of the induction system. You need a coil that fits your workpiece’s shape and size. A good coil gives even heating and saves energy. Pure copper coils are best because they last longer and carry current well. Always check the coil’s quality before picking a heater.

Cooling Systems

A good cooling system keeps your heater safe. Most 30kw induction heater models use water cooling. Water cooling gives better temperature control and helps the heater last longer. Some systems use air cooling, but these are best for small jobs. Some advanced systems use phase-change cooling for top results.

  • Air Cooling: Simple and cheap, but not very strong.

  • Liquid Cooling: Great for big jobs and long use.

  • Phase-Change Cooling: Works best, but is more complex.

Temperature Control

Good temperature control stops overheating and saves energy. Modern heaters can keep temperatures within ±5°C. This means you get the same results every time. Good control also protects your workpieces and the heater.
