15kw Induction Forge

15kw Induction Forge for Precision Metal Heating – Fast, Clean & Energy-Efficient Forging Solution

JIANGSU YINUO THERMAL ENERGY TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD makes industrial 15kw Induction Forge systems. In forging, heat treatment, and assembly work, metal heats up quickly. Each unit contains IGBT solid-state technology. Forging temperatures from 900°C to 1250°C are reached in seconds. Energy conversion efficiency stays above 90%. Our production base covers 20,000㎡. Fixed assets reach 80 million yuan. More than 100 engineers handle the work. Industrial clients around the world get a complete heating setup. Our work starts at design and ends with commissioning after installation.

What Makes Our forge Different?

This unit is a high-frequency electromagnetic heating system. Eddy currents are induced and they make heat right inside conductive metals. Startup takes little time. There is no long warm-up. Compared with gas or coal furnaces, surface decarburisation is lower. Heat also penetrates evenly.

The modular build is small. Floor space needed is under 0.5 square meters. Running 24/7 is fine. The duty cycle is 100%, so heat fatigue does not set in. Working range: 30kHz to 80kHz. Metal is penetrated to a depth of 1.5mm to 3mm. Fast conduction brings the core up to heat.

This is a suitable technique for heating steel, iron, copper, aluminium and speciality alloys. It is suitable for small to medium parts in the fastener industry, bladesmithing, tooling and equipment maintenance.

Key Technical Specifications

Why Choose This Forging Solution?

Instant Heat-Up Zero Warm-Up Time

Your line begins to warm up seconds after you flip the switch. No warmup cycles to sit through. Petrol ignition does not lag either. Downtime drops and throughput rises. In high-mix, low-volume areas, that counts most.

Minimal Oxidation and Scale Development

Air exposure at high temperature stays short, thanks to the fast thermal ramp-up. Workpieces come out cleaner. You also run fewer secondary descaling procedures and lose less material.

Localised Heating in Complex Geometries

Custom induction coils let you heat only the zones you want. Tips, threads or shoulders, with nothing next to them heated. For heat treating tool steel, or for expanding seized bushings in the field, this accuracy matters.

Safe Operation in a 15kw Induction Forge Confined Area

Where ventilation is poor or gases hang in the air, This product still runs safely. Mining sites and shipyards are two examples. No open flame is involved, and no combustion byproducts are released.

Low Operating Costs

They are very electricity efficient and have low levels of metal oxidation which means they save on energy expenditures and the loss of raw materials in comparison to gas alternatives.

Where You Can Apply This Technology?

Production of Fasteners and Bolts

The unit can be fitted into automated heading lines that hot-forge high-strength bolts, rivets and screws. Thermal profiles stay consistent, so every batch holds its metallurgical integrity.

Custom Tools & Bladesmithing

Artisans and tool makers utilise the forge for precision heat treatment of high carbon and Damascus steel. There is no scale, thus edge geometry and surface polish are maintained.

Maintenance of Heavy Equipment

A technician in the field can take a portable 15kw unit out to mining equipment and use it to thermally expand pins, bearings and bushings that have seized. No hydraulic press is needed. A cutting torch is not needed either.

Car Part Manufacturing

Heat the axle shafts, steering knuckles, and suspension parts first. Do it before shaping or assembly. Cycle time drops when you warm only the area you need. Tighter dimensions come with it too.

Quality Assurance and Testing for 15kw Induction Forge

Before anything ships, our quality inspection team runs several standard tests:

• Insulation Resistance Test to GB/T 5959.1, which checks the high-voltage electrical isolation
• The 100% Load-Duration Test runs at maximum power for 24 hours. IGBT thermal stability is watched the whole time.
• The Water-Cooling System Leak Test is run at 0.6 MPa pressure. Its job is to keep coolant away from the electronics.
• Power output is matched to the target workpiece temperature through Infrared Pyrometer Calibration.
• EMI testing, which checks that the unit gets along with CNC or PLC gear close by

Each unit holds CE certification. It is also a 15kw Induction Forge built under ISO 9001:2015 manufacturing protocols. That means it runs safely and reliably on an industrial site.

FAQ

Q: Does a product like this heat non-magnetic metals, aluminum or brass for example?

A: Yes. It can be done. One thing to watch: non-ferrous metals carry lower resistivity than steel does. Because of that, the frequency settings and the shape of the induction coil must suit the job.

Q: What kind of cooling system does it need?

A: A closed-loop industrial water chiller or cooling tower with a flow rate of at least 8–10 liters per minute is necessary to maintain internal temperature below 45°C.

Q: How deep does the heat penetrate the metal?

A: At the 30–80 kHz frequency, current penetration depth is typically 1.5 mm to 3 mm, with core heating achieved through rapid thermal conduction.

Q: Is it possible to forge 50 mm diameter bars with only 15 kW?

A: It can be done. That said, a 15 kW unit is set up for bars of 25–30 mm at most. Go bigger and you may need longer soak times. For high-volume production, a higher kilowatt rating could be the answer.

Q: How long are the IGBT modules supposed to last?

A: Keep the water quality right and the voltage steady, and good IGBTs will run for more than 10,000 hours.
