induction hobs and titanium stents
[Yep. Weird crossposting.]
I have recently acquired: (a) a Kenwood induction hob (b) a bare-metal titanium stent in a coronary artery. I'm not sure of the physics here, but I've sorta persuaded myself I'm getting chest pain if I go too near the hob when it's running. Do these hobs produce free fields that could transfer electrical potentials or thermal energy to a braid of titanium wire in my heart? (I am not particularly hypochondriacal about the coronary artery disease - it all happened rather too fast to be scary. But I do draw the line at getting my heart cooked in the pursuit of better soup). ==== j a c k at c a m p i n . m e . u k === <http://www.campin.me.uk> ==== Jack Campin, 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland == mob 07800 739 557 CD-ROMs and free stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, and Mac logic fonts ****** I killfile Google posts - email me if you want to be whitelisted ****** |

They may possibly cause inductive electrical currents to flow in your stent resulting in it heating up. Bare metal stents are largely stainless steel covered with titanium.

I think you might be wise to pursue this, Jack, if only for your peace of mind. I don't have an induction doodad around here--they're too newfangled for me--but I have had three stents for the last 11 years. I do know that anything involving induction has a force field that *could* interact with many metals. But according to one Google article [http://www.keytometals.com/Article122.htm] titanium is only weakly affected by magnetism as contrasted with iron, for example. OTOH, if it were my situation, I probably wouldn't make too much of it, just as don't fret about high-tension power lines and mobile phones at my ear. Whatever you decide, good luck with your new stent! -- Don Kirkman |

YOu know, this is a fascinating thread. Someone posted that some "titanium" stents are merely titanium plated, so the properties of the underlying metal might take precedence. After all, the main function of the exterior layer, be it S/S. titanium, or some polymer, is to avoid coagulation of platelets and other problematic stuff in the blood. It is not inconceivable that a radio/electromagnetic field could cause/induce a current, which might cause heat, or worse, electrical leakage into the artery tissue. WhooBoy, that's scary. I empathize with the OP. But, if this were the case, would not the MFR issue warnings about going through metal detectors, retail store sensors, and the like because they might cause ill effects with the stent? Can you have an MRI with a stent? Do the MRI people even ask whether you have a stent in place? If not, why not? Who made the stent? Do they have an advice (read: warning) on how to live with the stent in place? I know that if I ever have a defib unit implanted for my cardiac condition, there WILL be advisories about where I can and cannot go. Just food for thought. I don't think the OP is overreacting.

Steel wool is ferromagnetic, titanium isn't. I know steel heats on the thing.

Don't forget to keep it a couple of feet away from the hob (the field decreases rapidly with distance,) and inside a piece of meat. |

If the stink is magnetic then it will be effected if close enough. Induction will not heat all metals for example aluminum, copper or 18/10 stainless steel. However it will work with cast iron (enameled or not), carbon steels (woks, French fry pans), or magnetic stainless steels. Your best bet is to discuss it with your doctor ASAP as it could cause problems similar to a microwave and pace makers. -- Joe Cilinceon |

It may be an alloy that can affect any properties though. Magnetic field decreases rapidly with distance so I doubt it would be a problem. You need mass http://theinductionsite.com/proandcon.shtml Furthermore, because its energy is transferred only to relatively massive magnetic materials, you can turn an induction element to "maximum" and place your hand flat over it with no consequences whatever--it will not roast your non-ferrous hand! (Nor any rings or bracelets--the units all have sensors that detect how much ferrous metal is in the area that the magnetic field would occupy, and if it isn't at least as much as a small pot, they don't turn on.) |
