Abstract: In certain embodiments, inductive heating is added to a metal working process, such as a welding process, by an induction heating head. The induction heating head may be adapted specifically for this purpose, and may include one or more coils to direct and place the inductive energy, protective structures, and so forth. Productivity of a welding process may be improved by the application of heat from the induction heating head. The heating is in addition to heat from a welding arc, and may facilitate application of welding wire electrode materials into narrow grooves and gaps, as well as make the processes more amenable to the use of certain compositions of welding wire, shielding gasses, flux materials, and so forth. In addition, distortion and stresses are reduced by the application of the induction heating energy in addition to the welding arc source.

Abstract translation: 在某些实施例中，通过感应加热头将感应加热加入到金属加工工艺，例如焊接工艺中。 感应加热头可以专门用于此目的，并且可以包括用于引导和放置感应能量，保护结构等的一个或多个线圈。 可以通过施加来自感应加热头的热来提高焊接工艺的生产率。 加热是来自焊接电弧的热量，并且可以有助于将焊丝电极材料应用于窄槽和间隙中，并且使得这些工艺更适合于使用某些组成的焊丝，屏蔽气体，助焊剂材料 ，等等。 此外，除了焊接电弧源之外，通过施加感应加热能量来减小变形和应力。
