Abstract
The product (11) is in relative motion in the direction (12) of its axis with respect to at least one magnetic inductor (10, 10'). The metallurgical product (11) is subjected to at least two magnetic fluxes (19, 19') having non-parallel directions which are transverse with respect to the longitudinal direction of the product (11). The heating device may advantageously consist of two C-shaped magnetic yokes (14, 14') spaced apart and angularly offset along the axial direction (12) of advance of the product (11).
