 Induction bolt heating - Bolttech
Induction heating occurs when a material capable of conducting electrical current, not necessarily ferrous or magnetic, is placed in a varying magnetic field.
This effect enables induction heating to be used with non-magnetic and slightly magnetic materials such as 422 Stainless Steels, commonly used for internal components for high temperature inner turbine casings and bolting.
Simply stated, the induction heating coil acts as a primary side of a transformer and the bolt acts as a secondary side, with the eddy currents flowing around within the mass of the bolt.

The concept of heating without any physical contact: induction heating, has been around for over 40 years and finds use in almost every industry where metals are used, be it in alloying, metal forming, tempering, hot working or shrink fitting.
The basic principle behind heating by induction is that a very strong rapidly alternating magnetic field will induce eddy currents on any conductive material placed in the vicinity of that field.
It resembles the first induction heaters ever created in that the high magnitude alternating current pulses are created on it by means of a spark gap switched RCL circuit, no different from a Tesla Coil.

 Induction welding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Induction welding is a form of welding that uses electromagnetic induction to heat the workpiece.
In an electrically conductive workpiece, such as steel, the main heating effect is resistive heating, which is due to magnetically induced currents called eddy currents.
In a ferromagnetic workpiece, such as plastic doped with ceramic particles, the heating is caused mainly by hysteresis as the magnetic component of the electromagnetic field repeatedly distorts the crystalline structure of the ferromagnetic material.
