Feasibility Research on Application of a High Frequency Induction Heat to Line Heating Technology

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the feasibility of high-frequency induction heat for the line heating process through a series of experimental studies and numerical calculations.The results show that the heating temperature of induction heating meets the demands of steel plate bending,and the deformation of a steel plate heated by induction heating can achieve the same effect as flame heating.Meanwhile,the finite element model of moving induction heating of the plate is developed,and the comparison of the residual strain fields and transverse shrinkage between these two kinds of heating shows that great similarity has been achieved.
