# Industrial Specification: Induction Heating Station

## 1. Technical Definition
A specialized station within an automated forging line that uses electromagnetic induction to rapidly and precisely heat metal workpieces to forging temperatures.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **800-1250°C workpiece surface temperature, 3-10 kHz frequency, 50-500 kW power output**. Failure boundary: **Coil insulation breakdown at 180°C, workpiece melting at 1538°C (pure iron), water cooling failure at 60°C inlet temperature**, Mechanism: **Skin effect depth violation (δ = 503√(ρ/μf) mm) causing uneven heating, joule heating (P = I²R) exceeding material Curie temperature (770°C for steel)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Joule Heating & Thermal Resistance**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = I^2 R = \frac{V^2}{R}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Governs heating element sizing for shrink tunnels/sealers.
