Induction Hot Forming Stainless Steel Tape

Induction Hot Forming Stainless Steel Tape With Radio Frequency Heating Equipment Objective: To heat a stainless steel "J" tape to 3000F from room temperature at a rate of 15 feet per minute. The material is to be heated to aid in forming the "J" shape from flat stock. Material: Stainless Steel "J" Tape measuring 0.562" wide, 0.028" thick and continuously fed. Temperature: 3000F Application: The DW-HF-15kW output solid state induction power supply along with a fifteen (15) turn rectangular helical coil were found to produce the following result: * 3000F was reached on a 6" section within 2 seconds in a static test which translates into over 15 feet per minute. Equipment: DW-HF-15kW output solid state induction power supply including one (1) remote heat station containing one (1) capacitor with a value of 1.2 μF, and a unique fifteen (15) turn oval coil 6" long, 1 1/4" wide and 1" high. Frequency: 80 kHz
