Induction Heating Inconnel Susceptor

Objective: Heat an Inconnel susceptor to 19500F in less than one (1) minute for heating jet engine fan blades. This approach is to be used, instead of directly heating the blade, since improved temperature uniformity will be achieved. Heating is to take place in an Argon atmosphere.
Material: Inconnel Susceptor measuring 1 3/8″ wide by 2″ long by 3/4″ thick
Temperature: 19500F
Application: Through laboratory testing, the Power of 10KW,10kW output solid state induction power supply along with a four turn elongated helical coil were used to achieve the following results:
# 19500F was reached in forty five (45) seconds.
# An even heating pattern was observed throughout the Inconnel block
Equipment: Power of 10KW,10kW output solid state induction power supply including one (1) remote heat station containing two (2) capacitors with a total value of 0.66 μF, and a unique four (4) turn elongated helical work coil.
Frequency: 215 kHz
