Building a new annealer, this one is a bit of a change from the "skip" annealer I built last time.

Instead of a torch it's a induction annealer. "GinaErick" you can Google it to see how it works. Parts are on the way and fabricaton starts soon.

I learned something new today. I didn't know what the hell that was.

It appears to be quite the savings to build one.

the idea is that you pass current though the coil creating a electromagnet, the rapidly changing ac current creates eddy currents in the metal and wham hot metal. perfect heating that is even and very fast and repeatable.

Recently updated my Giraud annealer to use induction. Have been very happy with the results. The "GinaErick" looks cool, and very economical compared to buying off the shelf!

That is very cool. In the fact the coils don't get hot. I find this very interesting. Since annealing and heat treating Is one my specialty's. Very cool indeed. What the difficultly level to put one together for a novice.
 
Think it will be less work than the skip annealer. It's just wires for the most part.

Parts are showing up

LoL you know what they say about big feet...

Here is the heart of the system, 36volt 20amp power supply and a induction board. Tested it with a half ass coil and it instantly red hots a screwdriver. Crazy cool

OK so with work and hunting and Xmas and yeah I had not started work on this till sunday. I'm going to build it twice, once out of wood and then I'll make it pretty out of plastic.

Got quite a bit done but did have one fart. So the machine requires a contactor aka solenoid to send big amps to the induction heater. The part is a packed 230 30 amp contactor and you solder a varister across the contacts. Well it turns out they make a 230a and a 230b. One is 24v and one is 120v guess what one I got. The catch fire and smoke when you run 120v Ac to it kind. It did work though :)

Oops. Did they let you return it?

Been short on time with work and ducks but...

Did a couple test cases and it works amazing well. I'm actually going to build it twice. Once messy to learn how to build it then I'll get fancy and compact.

Cool idea. Once you get the base model figured out, any plans on making it somewhat automatic? Figure a tube feed to another trap door mechanism above it and you could pack it up with cases and walk away for a while.
