Induction heating for graphitizing
process furnaces
Smart solution for multi-zone heating control
Ideal for complex heat treament processes, unbalanced furnace loading
Power generator, with several outputs operated in PW mode
Power factor over 0,92 , maintained on the power range
Detection of the current leakage in each zone
Induction heating for graphitizing process furnaces is used for «infiltration» process, a thermal process where
parts made of carbon-carbon composite materials, are heated at very high-temperatures, under Vacuum or controlled
atmosphere conditions.
The standard graphitization process entails heating up a carbon part (porous or nonporous) to between 1,000°C and
2,800°C and infusing it with a humidified gas. The parts undergo long treatments and pressure matrix cycles (vacuum
and gas pressure). The treatment is done in a reducing atmosphere (nitrogen or argon atmosphere at atmospheric
pressure, reduced pressure or in a vacuum).
Advantages of the Fives solution
The inductor and the susceptor are placed in a chamber where the required pressure
cycle takes place. The startup powers for more modern systems exceed 1,000 kW.
•• Controlled and fast raising of the temperature
•• Continuous modulation of the
temperature in each zone
•• Leakage current continuous protection (maximum security)
•• Power factor > 0,92 in the entire power range
Operating principle
PWM Mode : Modulation of the pulse width
according to power
Unlike most circuit oscillating at the resonant
frequency, PWM mode aims at changing
the average value of the voltage at a given
frequency, thus changing the signal’s duty cycle.
