Induction Susceptor Heating

What is Susceptor Heating?

A susceptor is induction heated, conducting energy to the work material. Susceptors are made from silicon carbide, molybdenum, graphite, stainless steels and other conductive materials.

Induction generates an electromagnetic field in a work coil that induces currents in the conductive material of a workpiece placed within or near the coil. Friction from these currents elevates the temperature of the susceptor.

Induction susceptor heating Benefits 

  • Meets tight production tolerances with precise localized heat to small areas creating pinpoint accuracy

  • Increases production rates with faster heating cycles

  • Reduces defect rates with repeatable, reliable heat

  • Eliminates variability from operator-to-operator, shift-to-shift

  • Maintains metallurgical characteristics of the individual metals
