Applications & Case Studies

Pipe & Tube Welding (Petrochemical Piping):
In March 2023, an Indonesian oil company sourced 20 custom induction coil units (120kW, 60kHz) for their spiral SAWH pipe line. Coils delivered a 17% energy savings and achieved 18 months lifecycle under high humidity, outperforming previous models’ 13-month average. Heat zoning ensured weld uniformity, meeting API 5L and ISO 3183 standards.

Automotive Components Hardening:
Leading German Tier-1 supplied over 1,000,000 camshafts/year using AIS's induction coil, reporting lower oxidation corrosion rate (<0.7% p.a.) and stable process at 750kHz. ANSYS thermography confirmed uniform heat penetration, cut scrap by 22%.

Water and Wastewater Plant (Municipal):
US-based EPC used anti-fouling copper–PTFE induction coil for high-flow sludge sterilization. Improved anti-scale design extended cleaning interval to 8+ months, meeting ANSI NSF/ANSI 61 health safety norms (2022 installation case).

Battery Tab Welding (EV Manufacturing):

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Induction Coil

1. What is the optimal material for an induction coil in high-power pipe welding?

High-purity, oxygen-free copper (OFHC/Cu-OF, >99.97% IACS) offers maximum conductivity, minimal power loss, and heat resistance, extending service life even in continuous operation.

2. Which standards govern induction coil manufacturing tolerance?

International standards include ISO 9001:2015 for quality, ANSI C70.1-2018 for industrial heating, and often product-specific norms like API 5L for oil/gas applications.

3. How do I select inductance and frequency pairing?

Choose based on tube diameter and weld line speed: lower inductance and higher frequency for smaller diameters, and vice versa. Precise simulations are offered in the custom design process.

4. What’s the typical pressure resistance spec for water cooled coils?

AIS coils are rated to at least 25 bar (362 psi) hydraulic test. Standard industry minimum is 15 bar; higher specs are for high-flow and abrasive environments.

5. Is there a standard coil shape for all applications?

No. Common shapes are round, rectangular, elliptical, and pancake; the geometry is matched to tube profile and access space. Custom computer-aided design is standard.

6. How can I minimize scale, oxidation, or clogging in coils?

Advanced surface coatings (graphene or silver) and hybrid channel cooling prevent scale and oxidation. Periodic flushing with deionized water is recommended.

7. What documentation is included with shipment?

Test report, material certificate, ISO/ANSI compliance certificate, and maintenance instructions come with every induction coil shipment.
