Process, furnace equipment and equipment for the form hardening of workpieces

摘要

In a method for form-hardening workpieces, the workpieces (4) are heated in a furnace device (8) to a forming temperature before they are formed in a forming process. Individual workpieces (4) or workpiece groups of two or more workpieces (4) are heated separately in a separate, movable furnace module (20) with its own module housing (22) by means of an induction device (34). A furnace device (8) for a work hardening system (4) comprises a plurality of separate, movable furnace modules (20) with their own module housing (22) and induction device (34), wherein in each furnace module (20) a single workpiece (4 ) or a workpiece group of two or more workpieces (4) is inductively heated. In addition, a system for the molding of workpieces with such a furnace device (8) is specified.
