403.~ Induction heating


DEFINITION

Classification: 264/403

Induction heating:

(under subclass 402) Processes wherein the mold is subjected to induction heat.

(1) Note. Induction heat is considered to be heating of a nominally electrical conducting material by eddy currents induced by a varying electromagnetic field. When an alternating current flows through a coil which surrounds or is adjacent to a nominally conducting material, eddy currents will be induced therein and cause said material to be heated.
