Abstract
An induction heating system and a method for controlling a process temperature for induction heating of a workpiece. The induction heating system comprises an inductor configured to generate an alternating magnetic field in response to an alternating current supplied thereto, a magnetic load comprising a magnetic material, the magnetic material having a Curie temperature and being configured to generate heat in response to the alternating magnetic field being applied thereto, the magnetic load being connectable to the workpiece in a heat-conducting manner so as to transfer the generated heat to the workpiece, and a control unit configured to control the process temperature for manufacturing the workpiece by adjusting the alternating magnetic field when the temperature of the magnetic material is in a temperature control range around or below the Curie temperature of the magnetic material, the temperature control range being dependent on the magnetic material of the magnetic load.
