Abstract: Present work's research goals concern the investigation of optimal inductor design for induction heating applied to a 'tailored' heating forging problem. The first part of this paper shows the advantages of adopting a 'tailored' inductive heating, compared to a homogeneous one. In addition to a significant simplification, results of simulation have shown that it is possible to save energy and enhance the overall efficiency. The developed model was then experimentally validated and used for a more rigorous inductor design. The aim of the second part in fact, is to perform an optimisation procedure in order to design an inductor able to provide the desired 'tailored' temperature profile.
