SMD inductors and DC chokes are widely used in power electronics. They help store energy, reduce electrical noise, and keep voltage stable. When designing these components, engineers need to consider heat buildup, current flow, and magnetic field behavior. A well-designed inductor lasts longer, wastes less energy, and works more efficiently. This case study uses 3D […]
The attached simulation image demonstrates the thermal distribution of a moving inductor used in coating removal systems, providing detailed insights for engineers optimizing such processes. Here’s a breakdown with specific details: Inductor design and functionality The copper structure represents the inductor, which generates a high-frequency electromagnetic field to induce heat in the coating. In this […]
This animation visualizes the Lorentz force density distribution within a 3-phase bus bar during a short-circuit event. Here’s what can be observed: Color map indication: The color scale represents the Lorentz force density, with red indicating positive (outward) forces and blue indicating negative (inward) forces. Neutral areas are shown in white, indicating minimal or no […]
Induction hardening of small-, medium, and large-size gears is done using a tooth-by-tooth technique or encircling method. Depending on the gear size, required hardness pattern and geometry, gears are induction hardened by encircling the whole gear with a coil (so-called “spin hardening of gears”), or for larger gears, heating them “tooth-by-tooth”, where a more precise […]
The unrivaled accuracy, control, and efficiency of induction heating makes it ideal for key tasks in the manufacture and maintenance of rolling stock and rails. These involve custom-designed induction heating and hardening processes, developed by engineers with the help of a variety of tools, including the simulation software. Induction shrink fitting – removal and installation […]
This image represents a simulation of an induction welding process between two Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) components. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what is happening and what insights can be drawn from the simulation: Process overview Induction heating: The copper coil (visible in the image) generates an electromagnetic field when alternating current flows through […]
In modern welding processes, preheating the material is a critical step that ensures better joint quality and prevents issues like cracking or brittle welds. One method engineers use to achieve this is induction heating, where electromagnetic fields heat the material. In this article, we will explore the simulation of an induction heating system preheating a […]
The power and precision of the induction cooker technology comes from an electromagnetic field below the glass cooktop surface that transfers current directly to magnetic cookware* causing it to heat up. Essentially, induction cuts out the intermediate step of heating up a burner and then transferring the heat to the pot. Home cooks have been […]
Inductor geometry optimization for even temperature distribution in the turbine blade. High-pressure-resistant turbine blade tips can be repaired/refurbished by welding. To weld these nickel superalloys, they must be pre-heated to approximately 950°C (1742 °F). This is usually done in an inert gas (argon) chamber, where it is also welded once it has heated up. The […]
3D printing, also known as “additive manufacturing”, is a hot topic now as it broadens possibilities for on-demand and customized products, even with complex geometries. It eliminates the need for welding, soldering, bending and similar steps in coil design as 3D printers build the object in one piece and in the exact shape as drawn […]
