In some applications heat treating by induction faces certain challenges. Typical examples would be applications where the workpiece contains longitudinal and / or transverse holes, keyways, grooves, various orientations of hollow areas, sharp corners and other discontinuities. Existence of these features can result in undesirable appearance of hot and cold spots, cracks, and excessive distortion. In these cases it is necessary to carefully evaluate the eddy current flow and produced by induced current a temperature distribution in order implement required design changes and develop desired process recipes that allow to meet customer specifications.
