Inductoheat - An Inductotherm Group Company

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 [...]
