I. Descripition of Intermediate frequency induction furnaces
The Intermediate Frequency Induction Furnace (IF) is widely used as a flexible melting unit in mini-mills, special steel shops, and ferroalloy plants. It is typically positioned either as a primary melting unit for small batches or as a supplementary furnace for alloying, re-melting, and precision control prior to casting.
II. Typical Applications & Steel Grades
Carbon steel and structural steel
Alloy steel and low-alloy steel
Stainless steel and high-alloy steel
Non-ferrous alloys and ferroalloys
Re-melting operations requiring precise chemical composition control
IF furnaces are ideal for production scenarios demanding small to medium batch sizes, high flexibility, and strict quality control.
III. Technical Features
Electromagnetic Induction Heating
Enables uniform heating of the molten charge, precise temperature control, and minimal oxidation or contamination.
Flexible Charge Material
Can handle scrap steel, pig iron, ferroalloys, and special alloys with high adaptability.
Water-Cooled Crucible and Coil System
Ensures long service life, reduced maintenance, and stable operation under repeated thermal cycles.
Tilting and Pouring Mechanism
Provides controlled tapping into ladles or molds with high accuracy, minimizing splashing and oxidation.
Automation & Process Monitoring
PLC-based systems allow real-time temperature tracking, power control, and process logging for consistent batch quality.
IV. Main Equipment Scope
