New requirements for intermediate heating at conventional hot rolling mills or thin slab casting are characterized by extremely high-power densities and power levels. We developed a conductor that can be used to design multi-layer inductors, which enables significantly greater power density. Consequently, injectable power levels allow the targets to be reached. Common applications for high-flux inductors include:

⦁ Reheated billets for pressing, stamping, forging or hot rolling
⦁ Reheated pipes or rails for continuous heat treatment

The high-flux inductor doesn't need refractory and it has adequate thermal and mechanical protection, meaning maintenance requirements are minimal. Moreover, the furnace benefits from operating at a lower temperature, giving you a longer refractory life, reduced maintenance costs, minimized NOx emissions and a reduction of scale formation.
