MAGNETIC FLUX CONTROLLERS are materials other than the copper coil that are used in induction systems to alter the flow of the magnetic field. Magnetic flux controllers used in power supplying components are not considered in this article. Magnetic flux controllers have been in existence since the development of the induction technique. Michael Faraday used two coils of wire wrapped around an i...

An experimental investigation has been carried out to determine the applicability of an induction heating process with a travelling induction coil for the rectification of angular welding distortion. The results obtained from experimentation have been used to create artificial neural network models with the ability to predict the welding induced distortion and the distortion rectification achie...

The waveguides used in spacecraft antenna feeders are often assembled using external couplers or flanges subject to further welding soldering. Making permanent joints by means of induction heating has proven be the best solution this context. However, several physical phenomena observed zone complicate any effort control process making a joint heating; these include flux evaporation and changes...

To improve recycling quality, it is necessary to develop a demolition technology that can be combined with existing crushing methods employ large shredding-efficient equipment. The efficient collection of bones in segmentation dismantling method must considered according the procedure. Furthermore, there need for development partial technologies enable remodeling, maintenance, and reinforcement...

In Ni-Mn-Ga ferromagnetic shape memory alloys, Co-doping plays a major role in determining a peculiar phase diagram where, besides a change in the critical temperatures, a change of number, order and nature of phase transitions (e.g., from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic or from paramagnetic to ferromagnetic, on heating) can be obtained, together with a change in the giant magnetocaloric effect f...

Microwave heating is a process within a family of electroheat techniques, such as induction, radio frequency, direct resistance or infra-red heating, all of which utilise specific parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. These processes supplement, and in specific cases totally replace, conventional heating or drying systems used in industry. This is because some conventional systems are very bul...

Hardening of steel wires requires heating the wires above their Curie temperature, temperature at which the material becomes nonmagnetic causing a sudden change in the load. This change affects to the induction heating converters and is difficult to be evaluated due to the complexity of the problem and the interdependence of the parameters. In this paper a continuous Post-Curie wire heating mod...
