The Industrial Heating Equipment Association (IHEA) in the US has launched its Induction Division. This Division will focus on educating both induction OEMs and end users of thermal process technologies on best practices such as safety and operations, where the technology is best used and keeping the industry updated on the latest innovations related to induction.

‘IHEA strives to be the authoritative voice for the entire thermal processing industry,’ said IHEA president B.J. Bernard. ‘Of course, there are many different ways to apply heat. The Induction Division will focus on the specific issues facing induction suppliers and end-users.’

The Induction Division is in the process of developing content for IHEA’s 2016 Induction Seminar, which will take place this autumn.
