Induction Tempering of Steel

Authors: K. Weiss, Valery I. Rudnev, Ray L. Cook, Don L. Loveless, Micah R. Black
Publication: Advance Materials and Processes
Date: 8/1/1999

The tempering process takes place after steel is hardened, but it is no less important in metal heat treatment. This article provides analysis of induction tempering. This article discusses such imperative subjects as benefits and shortcomings of short time tempering, its effect on residual stresses, optimal frequency, etc. The variety of induction tempering applications and machines are discussed here also.

We must reduce costs, increase productivity, and maintain quality while utilizing a minimum amount of available floor space, says American automotive manufacturers. This requirement for highly efficient utilization of floor space is the last but certainly not least important factor when designing modern induction heat treating systems. This article discusses the space savings ideas which have been achieved by technical innovations in metal heat treating by induction.

In-Line Tempering on Induction Heat Treating Equipment Relieves Stresses Advantageously

Authors: K. Weiss
Publication: Industrial Heating
Date: 12/1/1995

In-line induction tempering of parts to relieve stresses from previous surface or through hardening, with minimum loss of hardness, is described in this article. Different types of in-line tempering and specific requirements are discussed.

Continuous Induction Hardening and Electric Furnace Tempering of Axleshafts Using Automated Flexible Cellular Systems

Authors: Dan J. Williams
Publication:
Date: 3/1/1992

The flexible heat treat cell concept, including extensive diagnostics to assure proper operation and part quality, was formulated by Welduction Corporation. This article examines how one U.S. manufacturer of off-road equipment consolidated the heat treatment of axleshafts from several independent operation into a single flexible cell.
