Inductoheat - An Inductotherm Group Company

————————————————————————————————————————————————— Numerical computer modeling is a major factor in the successful design of induction heating systems. Induction heating is a complex combination of electromagnetics, heat transfer, and metallurgical phenomena involving many factors. Heat transfer and electromagnetics are nonlinear and closely interrelated because the physical properties of heated metals depend strongly on both temperature and magnetic [...]

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 [...]

Friction welding is a remarkable welding process because it is nearly instant and produces very high-integrity, consistent quality welds even with dissimilar metals. It requires one workpiece to be spun at high speed. When scaled up to perform large cross-section welds, it requires a massive machine to furnish the requisite stored mechanical energy.
