摘要

"induction heat treatment system, heat treatment process of pre-selected components, and inductor for heating at least one substantially cylindrical component of a metal workpiece". A multi-station induction heat treatment system (10) is used for the heat treatment of metal parts having multiple generally cylindrical components whose geometric axes are parallel to and decaled from a common axis geometric axis. heat treatment system 10 includes heat treatment stations 31, 32, 33 which perform heat treatment while the inductor part and components remain stationary. system (10) is particularly suitable for heat treating parts such as crankshafts, which have a non-symmetrically shaped member intervening between two substantially cylindrical shaped members, some of which are not coaxial, which must be heat treated. .
