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. Can we help? ## 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 ## susceptor heating Application Notes Select from our collection of susceptor heating notes, developed over 40 years supporting our customers. Read how we helped to solve their process heating challenges! Heating a Steel Susceptor for Glass Cutting A custom-designed single position multiple-turn helical coil was built to generate the required heating for the application. Initial tests were conducted to optimize the power delivered to the part. Heating a 4-tube carbon susceptor A tubular carbon susceptor is held within an atmosphere controlled quartz chamber. Induction is used to heat the susceptor Heating susceptor for glass reflow (X-ray tubes) A two turn helical coil is used for heating. Six graphite susceptors are placed in the nitrogen atmosphere with glass discs and a stainless steel holder.
