We must reduce costs, increase productivity, and maintain quality while utilizing a minimum amount of available floor space, says American automotive manufacturers. This requirement for highly efficient utilization of floor space is the last but certainly not least important factor when designing modern induction heat treating systems. This article discusses the space savings ideas which have been achieved by technical innovations in metal heat treating by induction.

Progress in Study of Induction Surface Hardening of Carbon Steels, Gray Irons and Ductile (Nodular) Irons

Authors: Valery Rudnev, Don L. Loveless, Micah R. Black, Paul J. Miller
Publication: Industrial Heating
Date: 3/1/1996

In the past two decades surface hardening by induction has been used to an increasing degree. One of the major reasons is the ability to create high heat intensity quickly at very well defined locations on the workpiece. This leads to low process cycle time and, therefore, high productivity while meeting required specifications. The prime purpose of this article is to introduce the modern concept of induction surface hardening of carbon steel and iron parts based on new theoretical achievements and the latest practical applications.

Innovations in Induction Het Treating of Carbon Steels and Modern Ductile (Nodular) Irons

Authors: Valery Rudnev, Timothy G. Boussie, Don L. Loveless, Ray L. Cook
Publication: Proceedings of the 16th Heat Treating Conference
Date: 1/1/1996

Among other subjects, this publication particularly discusses the following: Latest theoretical achievements in induction surface hardening; New generation of camshaft induction hardening machines; PROS and 'CONS' regarding Magnetic Flux Concentrators; Advanced Induction In-Line Tempering Systems Modern Energy Monitoring and Advanced Quality 'Signature' Analysis; Today's Realities and the Future Prognosis for Using Solid State Power Supplies in Induction Heat Treating.

Mystery of an Unknown in Induction Heat Treating of Carbon Steels: 'Striping Phenomena'

Authors: Valery Rudnev, Don L. Loveless, Ray L. Cook
Publication: Industrial Heating
Date: 11/1/1995

This article discuses an effect which, due to its complexity, is not typically discussed in induction heating publications. This effect is called the 'striping' phenomena. This phenomena typically takes place during intensive induction hardening of carbon steels where high power densities are used.

Quench Systems for Induction Hardening

Authors: Dan J. Williams
Publication: Metal heat Treating
Date: 7/1/1995

Few heat treating processes are successful without controlled quenching. This article examines the basics of quench water systems used with induction hardening equipment.

Continuous Induction Hardening and Electric Furnace Tempering of Axleshafts Using Automated Flexible Cellular Systems

Authors: Dan J. Williams
Publication:
Date: 3/1/1992

The flexible heat treat cell concept, including extensive diagnostics to assure proper operation and part quality, was formulated by Welduction Corporation. This article examines how one U.S. manufacturer of off-road equipment consolidated the heat treatment of axleshafts from several independent operation into a single flexible cell.
