An induction heating inductor is provided for use in a slot type of furnace to heat axially spaced portions of an elongated workpiece. This inductor includes first and second generally rigid, elongated input members normally fixed with respect to each other and extending generally parallel to the workpiece and a conductor unit extending between the input members to define one of the heating portions and adjustable for changing the position of this heating portion on the workpiece.

An induction heating inductor for heating first and second axially spaced portions of an elongated workpiece having a central axis and carried by a conveyor along a transversely extending feedline generally perpendicular to said central axis, said inductor comprising: first and second axially spaced

An induction heating inductor for heating first and second axially spaced portions of an elongated workpiece having a central axis and carried by a conveyor along a transversely extending feedline generally perpendicular to said central axis, said inductor comprising: first and second axially spaced pairs of generally straight, parallel conductor elements, said elements in each pair extending generally parallel to said feedline with the first of said conductor elements of each pair being on one side of said feedline and the second of said conductor elements of said pair being on the opposite side of said feedline; means for connecting said elements of each of said pairs in electrical series; means for adjusting the axial spacing between said pairs of conductor elements; said conductor elements each having first and second spaced ends and including a first interconnecting conductor means for electrically connecting said first ends of said first conductor elements of said pairs; second interconnecting conductor means for electrically connecting said first ends of said second conductor elements of said pairs; third interconnecting means for electrically connecting said second ends of said first conductor elements of said pairs; and, fourth interconnecting means for electrically connecting said second ends of said second conductor elements of said pairs wherein said first, second, third and fourth interconnecting means are rigid, generally straight conductors and said first adjusting means includes means for adjusting said conductor elements along said rigid conductors.
