INNOVATIVE INDUCTION HEAT TREATING TECHNOLOGIES

摘要

Presentation focuses on:rn1. Novel approaches to induction heat treating of critical automotive components, includingrnbut not limiting to induction contour hardening of spiral, hypoid and bevel gears withrndiameters from 6” to 8” (patent pending) and sprockets. Patented CrankPro Technologyrnfor non-rotational hardening and tempering of crankshafts (V-4, V-6 and V-8) andrncamshafts with non-convention journals and lobes.rn2. Specifics of induction hardening of hand tools (i.e., wrench jaws, hammers), fasteners, etc.rn3. Induction heating of large-diameter (8 to 12 in. and larger) billets made from carbon steels,rnstainless steels and Inconel, including a comparative assessment of progressive multi-stagernhorizontal induction heating approach vs. static heating using vertical inductors (frequencyrnselection, electrical efficiency, system flexibility, cost, etc.).rn4. FluxManager? - technology for effective heating of carbon steel tubular goods (patented inrn2007).rn5. Developing compact and highly-efficient induction tempering and stress relieving systems.
