Hardening consists of heating a metal which will be followed by rapid cooling to increase the hardness and improve the mechanical strength of a part.
Generally, induction hardening follows two methods:
Generally, induction hardening follows two methods:
the operations are carried out without moving the part or the inductor. The treatment is very fast, requires simple mechanics and allows very precise localization of the treated part, even on complex one
the operations are carried out in motion, by moving the part or the inductor. This method is widely used to process large parts.
The main benefits are :
-
Localized parts treatment (hardening profile)
-
No combustion residue on pieces
-
Easily automated
