The majority of commercial codes used for computer modeling of induction heating processes are all-purpose programs originally developed for modeling processes occurring in electrical machines, motors, circuit breakers, transformers, and magnetic recording systems, and later adapted to induction heating needs. Despite the capabilities of modern commercial software, many generalized programs have difficulty taking into consideration [...]

Article discusses unique technology that allows the replacement of carburizing with induction contour hardening for a wide range of complex-shaped components, including parts previously thought to be impossible to induction harden. This includes but not limited to spiral bevel pinions, spiral bevel ring gears, journal and differential crosses, helical bull gears, shaft helical shafts, etc. [...]

————————————————————————————————————————————————————- Induction heating the internal surfaces of a workpiece can be used in applications such as hardening, tempering, annealing, shrink fitting, stress relieving, coating, drying, and brazing. Application specifics requires the use of a variety of different inductor styles to heat internal surfaces including solenoid-type, cylindrical single- and multi-turn coils, hairpin inductors, C-core inductors, and others.

Learn about a variety of unique patented and patent pending technologies developed during the past 3 to 5 years. Dr. Valery Rudnev, FASM – Thursday, October [...]

Localized overheating is one of the most common causes of quench cracking. Overheating can lead to unwanted metallurgical microstructures, grain growth, scale formation, decarburization, as well as grain boundary liquation (incipient melting), which weakens grain structure and substantially increases the steel’s brittleness and sensitivity to developing intergranular quench cracking. Certain design features make a part [...]

Certain numerical computational methods or software are preferred for each family of induction heating applications. There is not a single universal computational method that optimally fits all types of applications. In recent years, the finite element method (FEA) became the dominant numerical simulation tool for a variety of engineering applications. Though FEA is a very [...]

Many bars, billets, and rods lend themselves to processes in which the entire workpiece is heated and fed into a roll former or other type of forming machine. In some cases, only a certain part of the workpiece (the end, for example) needs to be hot formed. One such application is a sucker rod used [...]
