Induction Heating for Skull Heating and Glass Melting
Glass, some oxides, and salts are all electrical and heat insulators at ambient temperature and become conductive at high temperature. They may therefore be re-heated and melted using induction heating. This method of heating is attracting increased attention due to its intrinsic qualities:
- Exceptional energy efficiency
- Control simplicity
- Good thermal homogeneity in the pot (absence of hot spots and presence of a cold dome)
- No wearing parts
