The invention relates to an induction preheating device and method for
welding a
copper alloy annular seam, the induction preheating device comprises an induction power supply, a cover body, an
induction coil, a
silicon steel sheet and a positioner, a containing cavity is formed in the cover body, an air inlet hole and an air outlet hole are formed in the containing cavity, the
induction coil is located in the containing cavity, and the
silicon steel sheet is located in the
induction coil. The position changing
machine is located below the induction coils, a concave containing groove is formed in the position changing
machine, a
silicon steel sheet is arranged in the containing groove, the induction coils correspond to the silicon steel sheet and are used for being arranged on the two sides of a
welding seam, and the induction coils are electrically connected with the induction power source. By means of the non-contact heating characteristic of
electromagnetic induction, compared with traditional overall furnace feeding or
flame baking, local heating can be accurately achieved, the
heating efficiency is greatly improved,
energy consumption is reduced,
pollution caused by
contact type heating is avoided, and meanwhile the problems that traditional preheating
temperature control is poor, and uniformity is insufficient are solved.
