Induction graphite susceptor heating supports resistive and machinable electromagnetic energy absorption and conversion. Although these susceptors run in various types such as silicon carbide, molybdenum, and stainless steel, the graphite-based versions can support temperatures up to almost 5,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Whether in disk, crucible, tube and others, there are a number of advantages and benefits to using this specific kind of material within the industrial process.
Getting the Job Done
The increase in speed and accuracy with graphite susceptors more than justifies the material’s reputation. Induction temperature control is aided by closed-circuit systems of thermo connectors. Pyrometers standardized surface heat, keeping it uniform; meanwhile, the heat stays trapped, adding value by saving energy when being integrated into various production lines.
Adaptability and Reliability
The electromagnetically heated material can change temperature rapidly, allowing for heating or cooling. A higher reliability classification can be attributed to the fact that a high current conductor isn’t needed because of the high-temperature nature of the graphite. Using low to medium magnetic field frequencies allows the susceptors to heat even thin material such as wires, steel strips and the like. Regardless of shape and size, an induction susceptor heater interposed is effective for heating non-conductive mediums like plastics, ceramics, semiconductors, and chemicals.
Watch as the graphite crucible heats up the solid (take steel turnings for instance) and turns it into hot molten liquid ready to be reshaped according to the operator’s desire. It can be heated, cooled, and reheated again very quickly – proving how useful graphite is to induction.
