Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
There are two classifications of induction furnaces: coreless and channel. In a coreless furnace, the refractory-lined crucible is completely surrounded by a water-cooled copper coil, while in the channel furnace the coil surrounds only a small appendage of the unit, called an inductor. The term "channel" refers to the channel that the molten metal forms as a loop within the inductor. It is the metal loop that forms the secondary of the electrical circuit, with the surrounding copper coil being the primary. In a coreless furnace, the entire metal content of the crucible is the secondary. 2, record 3, English, - induction%20furnace
