Abstract
The present invention utilizes a dynamically controlled frequency system for the process of induction heating semi-solid material. Semi-solid precursor material is machined into billets of a desired size. These billets are subjected to one or more heating processes utilizing an induction heating process that is dynamically controlled by adjusting the frequency of an induction coil current to achieve a desired temperature in a semi-solid material billet.
Claims2
