Abstract
A wire heating system includes an induction heating apparatus having a power supply and an induction coil arranged to heat a wire rod by an induction heating using current supplied from the power supply, and a controller configured to control the current to be supplied to the induction coil based on a feeding speed of the wire rod. The induction heating apparatus has a heating section in which the wire rod is heated by the induction heating using the induction coil, and a soaking section located downstream of the heating section to homogenize the temperature distribution of the induction-heated wire rod. The controller is configured to control the current to be supplied to the induction coil such that a temperature of the wire rod at a downstream end of the soaking section becomes a target temperature.
