The research of travelling wave induction heating (TWIH) has been applied into a broader metallurgical engineering area in current years. Comparing with other known systems, the traveling wave (TW) inductor is more promising, for its ability of obtaining more uniform heating. The traditional induction heating methods have been studied for many years. The TWIH, however, is not fully appreciated with respect to their main advantages and possible industrial applications. Thus, this paper tries to explain the research status and problems in existence of the TWIH technology. Meanwhile, the author aim to discuss the development trend and the direction for the future research in this paper.
