Induction heating is a method of providing fast, consistent heat for manufacturing applications which involve bonding or changing the properties of metals or other electrically-conductive materials. The process relies on induced electrical currents within the material to produce heat. Induction heating systems are used in thermal therapy (thermotherapy) to generate alternating magnetic fields in the laboratory to elevate and manage the temperature of a solution of nano-particles in vitro or (in animal studies) in vivo.
