Induction Heating Billets (RCS)

There are three basic induction approaches to heat RCS billets: static, progressive and oscillating heating. The most popular of these is the progressive multi-stage horizontal heating system, in which billets are moved through a single or multi-coil horizontal induction heater. As a result, the billet is sequentially (progressively) heated at predetermined positions inside the induction heater.
Depending upon application, different in-line coils can have various power levels and frequencies. For this article, we are focused on the progressive multi-stage horizontal-heating design concept because it is the most popular approach.
