Inductotherm[R] Group: leading manufacturers of melting, thermal processing & production systems for the metals and materials industry worldwide.


From the brilliant yellow of gold and the warm glow of copper to the cold gray of iron and steel no matter what metal you melt, mold, heat or otherwise process, there's an Inductotherm Group company with the equipment, technology or services you need.

The Inductotherm Group brings together some forty companies strategically located around the world. All share a focus on serving the metals and materials industry and all are leaders in their respective disciplines.

Our companies provide the equipment and services that allow the industry to process metals from melting through casting, heating, rolling, drawing, forging and shaping into their final products.

As a multi-technology organization, the Inductotherm Group offers many advantages:

* The unique ability to offer the best solution from a broad range of available technologies.

* A single point of contact and single source of project responsibility.

* The support of a global network of manufacturing and service facilities.

* Access to a full range of engineering, installation and repair services.

While you probably already know our companies by their individual names, this special section introduces you to their unifying organization, the Inductotherm Group.

Inductotherm is the world's leading manufacturer of induction melting systems. Its furnaces range from coffee cup size for melting precious metals Precious Metals

Valuable metals such as gold, iridium, palladium, platinum, and silver.

Inductoheat, the world's largest manufacturer of induction heating equipment, offers product lines ranging from general purpose machines to custom engineered, fully automated heat treating systems, With more than twenty companies around the world, including North and South America, Europe, Australia and Asia, engineering excellence has no boundaries.

Radyne builds induction hardening, tempering, brazing brazing, method of joining metal parts using nonferrous filler metals with high melting points such as copper, silver, and aluminum alloys. Brazing differs from soldering (see solder) by using a higher temperature; and unlike welding, the parts are not melted. , and soldering equipment.

Alpha I specializes in the design and manufacture of turnkey systems for heat treating, brazing and wire heating. They also manufacture AlphaForm, a formable/ moldable induction heating ferromagnetic Refers to a material, such as iron and nickel, that can be easily magnetized. See MRAM.  concentrator.

Inductoheat Mass Heating Division provides coreless pots for strip coating lines and continuous bar reheaters for rolling mills. Other applications include "Boost Heating" for strip heating applications such as paint curing, pickling, annealing annealing (ənēl`ĭng), process in which glass, metals, and other materials are treated to render them less brittle and more workable. , glavanizing and more.

Radyne builds integrated, continuous feed billet heaters and bar end heating systems for the ferrous forging industry.

 and heat treating applications. Its products include tunnel, pusher pusher Drug slang 1. A person who sells drugs, especially the 'heavies'–eg, heroin 2. A metal hanger or umbrella rod used to scrape residue in crack stems , car, walking hearth and walking beam furnaces. Its rotary hearth furnaces are also used for the production of direct reduced iron Direct reduced iron is produced from iron ore powder through heating and chemical reduction by natural gas.

While this is in general a more expensive process than reducing the ore in a blast furnace, there are several factors which can make it economical:
