Induction Heating: Everything You Wanted to Know, But Were Afraid to Ask (October 2016)

Question of the Month: We process copper alloy bars and billets in our factory. Gas furnaces have been used to heat billets made of C14500, C44300, C46400, C48500, C64200, and […]

FEA Modeling of Induction Heating RCS Billets and Bars

Induction heating is commonly used to heat cylindrical workpieces and rectangular shaped parts including RCS (round-corner-square) billets and bars, blooms, slabs, and plates. The uniformity specifications may include maximum tolerable […]
