Material Selection Guidelines
The information provided below is a general reference only to cover the majority
of applications. In certain cases (heavily loaded applications, coils with small
turn to turn gaps, special cooling conditions, etc.) these guidelines may be
non-optimal. For severe or special applications, please contact your Fluxtrol
representative or Fluxtrol directly and we will be happy to assist.
More information regarding material selection and application can be found
in Chapter 6 of the Induction Basic Training Course contained in Section 9 of
this manual.
All material may be used at frequency lower than rated. For example Fluxtrol 50
and Ferrotron 559H have been implemented successfully on low frequency,
below 10 kHz, coils.

Notes for
Material Etching
Main Goal
To remove or modify conductive surface layer for better electrical resistance and
electrical strength.
Additional Possible Benefits
To prevent rusting
To improve glue or coating adhesion
Conductive layer may be formed on the part in the process of pressing or
machining due to smearing of the surface metal particles. Different materials
behave differently in these operations.
Ferrotron 559 H and Ferrotron 119 do not form a conductive layer in pressing
or any machining operations (turning, milling, saw cutting, grinding). Etching is
recommended for electrical strength improvement and rust prevention. Electrical
strength may be important when significant external voltage applied to a thin
layer of concentrator.
Fluxtrol 25 and Fluxtrol 50 typically do not form conductive layers in machining
operations. However conductive layer may be formed on the side surfaces in
the process of pressing or some machining operations with dull tool, low speed
and high feed. Etching is recommended for surface improvement and for higher
electrical strength when the concentrator touches coil turns with different electric
potential (non-insulated multi-turn ID coils, long hair-pin and similar coils).
Fluxtrol A forms a conductive layer in the process of pressing and machining,
especially when the machining occurs in direction of pressing (see Chapter 6
Fluxtrol Materials on Induction Coils in the Training Course Basics of Induction
Heating and Magnetic Flux Control). Etching is recommended for surface
improvement in applications where the concentrator isnt subject to external
voltage application (single-turn cylindrical coils and similar as well as coils with
electrically insulated copper). Etching is strongly recommended for concentrators,
which experience application of external voltage (multi-turn coils without
electrical insulation of copper etc.).

Material Application & Maintenance
Surface Preparation
Best FLUXTROL & FERROTRON material performance may be realized when
sufficient care is administered to prepare Flux Concentrator and Induction
Heating Coil in the area of attachment/interface as described below:
Flux Concentrator - Clean all surfaces that are to be in intimate contact with
Induction Heating Coil by removing any paint. Lightly sand with medium to
medium-fine emery paper (80-180 grit) to give adhesive a good gripping
surface. Remove any accumulated dust by wiping with a clean dry cloth or with
an organic solvent such as acetone.
Induction Heating Coil - Clean all surfaces that are to be in intimate contact with
Flux Concentrator by removing any machining fluids/oils or residual quenchant.
This may include sandblasting the copper surface and then wiping
it with an organic solvent (such as acetone). Lightly sand with medium to
medium-fine emery paper (80-180 grit) to give epoxy adhesive a good
gripping surface. Remove any accumulated dust by wiping with a clean
dry cloth.

Care should be taken to clean all dirt, oils, greases and mechanically roughen
the contact surfaces prior to bonding. A thin layer of epoxy adhesive should be
applied to both the Fluxtrol product and induction coil copper contact surfaces
and then these two surfaces are to be brought into contact and held together
with light pressure. Wipe away the excess glue with a damp cloth and then
follow the curing instructions for the respective adhesive.

Mechanical Fastening
Mechanical Fastening is another example of how Fluxtrol flux concentrators are
attached to an induction heating coil. The purpose of the mechanical fastener
is to keep the flux concentrator in place. A technique may be used where a
stud (i.e., screw or bolt made from brass or copper) is brazed to the induction
coil coupled with a clearance hole drilled through the Fluxtrol product. Use
where possible a thermal medium that is electrically non-conductive and
thermally conductive i.e., heat sink paste (usually silicone based), like those
used for mounting transistors in power supplies. Both the Fluxtrol product and
Inductor contact surfaces should be coated with a thin and uniform layer prior
to fastening. After tightening down the nut on the stud, excess paste should be
wiped away with a dry rag. Be careful not to over tighten the nut, as this may
lead to cracking of the Fluxtrol flux concentrator. Use of plastic nuts may work
to lessen the chance of cracking the concentrator.
Fluxtrol recommends using the appropriate removable thread locker such as
Loctite 246 high temp/medium strength thread locker for metal fasteners and
Loctite 425 for plastic fasteners. This will work to eliminate the possibility of the
mechanical fasteners loosening over time due to vibration and insure the Fluxtrol
material stays properly in place on the coil.

Direct Lamination Replacement
Using Fluxtrol greatly reduces the labor intensive task of stacking and attaching
laminations individually. All FLUXTROL & FERROTRON materials, being
solid in form, eliminate the degradation/corrosion build up that is common
between individual laminations. Lamination degradation can result in coil failure
or changes to the heat pattern. Another significant benefit of FLUXTROL &
FERROTRON materials is that they can be easily machined. This includes in-field
modification when necessary which is not possible with individual laminations.
Induction Coils Perform Better
Improved coil lifetime with
Fluxtrol LRM versus laminations
due to reduced copper thermal
racheting.
No overheating in the presence
of 3D magnetic fields.
Fluxtrol LRM covers more of the

Induction
Basic Training
Introduction
This Training Course is developed for people with different technical levels
(technology users, designers, coil manufacturers, businessmen etc.) for better
understanding of:
How induction heating works
Equipment used for induction heating applications
How to design optimal processes and induction coils using
computer simulation
The benefits of using magnetic flux controllers (concentrators)
Proper concentrator material selection and fabrication
The application of Fluxtrol controllers to induction coils
What results have been achieved in selected applications (case stories)
It is not possible to describe in a short course all the features and numerous
applications of induction heating. The main emphasis of this course is placed
on the theory, understanding and practice of magnetic flux control in induction
heating systems.

Software
ELTA Software
ELTA is a program for ELectroThermal Analysis of induction systems
Calculations in ELTA are based on a combination of 1D Finite Element
Method for closely coupled electromagnetic and thermal problems inside
the work piece and analytical method for account of finite lengths of the
part and induction coil. Special 2D numerical method is used for calculation
of parameters inside parts with rectangular cross-section.
ELTA Software Features
User friendly interface with very fast solver
Electromagnetic + Thermal
Axisymmetrical (OD & ID) & plane-parallel geometries
Module for simulating single- and multi-turn internal coils
Possibility to simulate power supplying circuit (busswork, parallel or series
capacitors, matching transformer)
Possibility to simulate multi-stage processes such as part hardening and
tempering in different positions
Database with non-linear properties of materials and quenching media
Option of automatic frequency variation during the process of heating
Multiple graphs and color map for presentation of the results
Automatic report generation according to selected or created
by user templates

Cycle Diagram
Color Map of temperature distribution shows that at the end of the first stage a
depth of austenitized layer (T> 800 C) is 4 mm as required.
After 8-second quenching, temperature at the depth of 4 mm dropped below
120 C, which is sufficient for complete martensite transformation, while
temperature at the center remained around 300 C.
This residual temperature and two-stage heating for tempering provided very
uniform temperature in hardened layer during tempering process.
