What is the difference between an induction melting furnace and a crucible electric furnace?

The induction melting furnace adopts electromagnetic induction heating method, and the heated metal material generates heat by itself under the action of eddy current.

The crucible electric furnace is a resistance heating method. It uses resistance wires, silicon molybdenum rods, and silicon carbon rods to heat the graphite crucible, and the graphite crucible radiation is conducted to the heated metal or non-metal material to melt the metal.

The induction melting furnace has high heating efficiency, energy saving and electricity saving. It is an ideal equipment in the foundry field. The induction furnace has three purposes: melting, heat preservation and pouring. Therefore, there are melting furnaces, holding furnaces and pouring furnaces according to their uses.

Compared with the crucible electric furnace, the induction melting furnace has the advantages of high power density and convenient melting. The molten metal is strongly stirred due to electromagnetic force, which is a main feature of the induction melting furnace.
