Radyne I.T. (Induction Tempered) Spring Wire Lines produce spring wire suitable for cold coiling as used in a wide variety of wire-based products including automotive suspension springs, overhead garage door springs and general mechanical springs. A typical line will produce high quality spring wire from 6 to 16mm diameter in materials ranging from carbon steel [...]
Induction preheating is a critical part of this technology providing the required heat input quickly, efficiently and with required uniformity. Immediately after completion of the heating stage, the inductor is retracted within a fraction of a second and the two piston’s halves are rapidly pressed together. Rotation be- gins just before surfaces of both halves [...]
Successful vehicle programs use inductoheat induction heating equipment. From bumper to bumper, automotive components require specialized thermal processing. Quality parts emerge from quality ideas and efforts. Inductoheat offers a partnership approach from process feasibility of your part design, through machine design, manufacturing and installation. Not matter your type of engine, 4 to 12 cylinder, diesel [...]
When designing and fabricating long-lasting induction systems it is important to consider the electromagnetic field in the immediate vicinity of the inductor. The use of low-resistivity nonferrous materials (preferably electrically non- conductive) in the area close to the inductor is recommended. Fasteners and washers used to connect bus-work to the inductor should also be nonferrous [...]
The gear is induction preheated to a temperature determined by the process features, typically being 350 to 100°C below the critical temperature Ac1. The pre- heat temperature depends on the type and size of the gear, tooth shape, prior mi- crostructure, required hardness pattern, acceptable distortion, and the available power source. Usually, preheating is ac- complished [...]
