摘要:
An induction heating coil is provided which can stably heat a steel tube which is being fed in its axial direction without rotating, the heating being uniform in the circumferential direction and in a narrow range in the axial direction. An induction heating coil 10 which surrounds in the circumferential direction the outer periphery of an elongated metal material 1 which is a member being heated has at least two 1-turn coils in the form of a first turn coil body 11 and a second turn coil body 12. The inner peripheral length Ln (the non-effective coil length) where the effective number of coil turns is less than the total number of coil turns when the coil is projected in the axial direction and the inner peripheral length L0 of the projected coil bodies (the inner coil length) satisfy Ln/L0
