What is open induction furnace?

An open induction furnace is a type of melting furnace that uses electromagnetic induction to heat and melt metal. Unlike enclosed induction furnaces, it has an open design that allows for easier loading and unloading of materials, making it suitable for small to medium-scale metal processing. The furnace operates by generating heat through induced currents in the metal charge placed within a coil, which is powered by alternating current. This method provides efficient melting with precise temperature control, often used in applications such as foundries and metal recycling.
