Induction Heating Applications
 

 

    Induction Heating Overview  

 

Annealing

Heating and slow cooling of a material for reducing hardness and brittleness. Typically, the material has been hardened through working, welding, or shaping rather than from an induction hardening process.

Bar End Heating

Induction heating of the ends of typically steel bars for forming a shape on the end of the bar.

Bonding

An attachment process that typically joins two metals together using a thermo set adhesive. A common use for bonding is the adhesion of body panels to reinforcement structures in automobiles.

Brazing

Joining of two or more items using a melted high temperature soldering material. The objects to be joined together and the braze material are both heated using high frequency induction.

Coating

Heating of a component prior to applying a covering material that requires heat for melting, fusing, and adhesion to the component. A typical use for coating is the application of epoxy the the surface of rebar used in buildings and roadways.

Curing

A drying process of a component that has had a coating such as paint applied.

Forging

Heating of a material to change the shape. A typical application is tube heating to form a raw forging for machining to a final component.

Normalizing

Heating of a ferrous alloy to a suitable temperature above the austenization transformation range and then cooling in air to a temperature substantially below the transformation range.

Shrink Fit

Heating of a component to promote expansion. Typically the expanded object is placed on a second component. When the heated component cools it shrinks back to the original size providing a "shrink fit".

Semi Solid Metal Forming

Forming a component from a material that is not yet melted, but is soft enough to be formed into a new shape with a press and precision die.

Stress Relief

Heating and slow cooling of a component to relieve stress that has occurred in a previous process such as welding or forming.

Surface Harden

Heating for the purpose of achieving full hardness of metal in a shallow depth along the surface of the processed area. The hardened surface provides the basis for a wear surface while leaving the body of the component soft.

Tempering

Heating and slow cooling of a material for reducing hardness and brittleness. Typically, the material has been intentionally hardened either by an induction or furnace heating process.

Through Harden

Heating a component or zone on a component completely through the cross section of the material rather than hardening only a surface area.
