Abstract: An induction heating device and an induction heating method are provided. The entire areas to be heated of the workpiece can be uniformly heated to a predetermined high temperature, and uniform heating is possible even when the workpiece deforms in a non-uniform manner during heating. When areas to be heated are established on a workpiece so as to extend in one direction and the areas to be heated are induction-heated, the deformation amount on one edge of the areas to be heated is different from that on the other. This induction heating device includes; heating coils facing a portion of the areas to be heated when the workpiece is induction-heated; and a relative transfer means for transferring the workpiece and the heating coils along one direction in a relative manner, and the heating coils are disposed so as to correspond to the areas to be heated during the heating period.

Abstract: A heating coil includes a pair of linear lead portions adapted to be connected to a power supply, and a ring-shaped or coil-shaped head portion having end portions connected to the lead portions respectively. A flow path through which a cooling medium flows is formed inside the lead portions and the head portion. An outer circumferential surface of the head portion has a circular or elliptical cross section and is configured to face a heating target portion of an inner circumferential surface of a work extending, the heating target portion extending in a circumferential direction of the work. Each of the lead portions has a straight side portion in a plane intersecting a longitudinal direction of the lead portions, the straight side portions of the lead portions being arranged in proximity to each other.
