Electric induction forge. Induction forging refers to the use of an induction heater to pre heat metals prior to deformation using a press or hammer. Induction forging is an ideal process which combines precision control economics and safety. It wastes lots of energy as heat and creates lots of dirty smoke. It ist 23 00 sunday nothing to do.

First a word of warning. Lets make an induction forge out of induction heater. Making a mini electric forge fun interesting. When you think of a way to heat up a metal object you think of fire right.

Fire is an inefficient old fashioned and slow way to heat up metal objects. Hope my girl friend wont be angry what have i used. It s a 30 kva induction heater built by bwang over on instructables. With induction you can focus heating on just the portion of the material to be forged and efficiently bring it to the malleable temperature.

Well what if you could h. It gets hot enough to melt and. This is how to build a powerful water cooled 500w induction heater capable of getting iron and. Typically metals are heated to between 1 100 c 2 010 f and 1 200 c 2 190 f to increase their malleability and aid flow in the forging die 1.
