Inductive heating of sheet metal component, for hot working and/or press hardening, by supplying different amounts of heat to different component regions based on mass and specific heat

摘要

In a method for heating a sheet metal component (specifically a sheet metal plate (1)) for hot working and/or press hardening, the desired temperature distribution is generated in the component by inductively generating different amounts of heat in different regions (5, 6) in different ways, the amount of heat being based on the mass and specific heat of the region.
