Induction heating

I think induction heating needs iron content (magnetic) in the metal to work.

could you use something similar for soldering compression fittings

Yes you could, but the coil would have to be round the pipe to get even heating and thus would be non removablle after the joint had been made.

The frequency would have chosen to suit the size of copper pipe and at higher frequencies iron is not necessary.
 
We were soldering Yorkshire fittings with electric heat tongs over 30 years ago ....doing a refurb on a big site in Pinner whereby insulation between floors consisted of straw sandwiched between brown paper....
Around the time Michael Fish the weatherman fooked up..:ROFLMAO:
 
"Fooked up" ?

He became a celebrity and made a lot of money from after dinner speeches after that!
 
You don't need to solder them if you wrap ptfe round the olive. If you use enough ptfe you won't even need the feckin olive. :LOL:
 
Oh, I see my error now..... This induction heating malarkey is supposed to be the dogs doodahs for heating up rusty nuts, freeing taper joints, etc etc in the car world. Localised heating with no flame.
I'll stick to what I'm good at (when I find what it is)
