    WHAT IS INDUCTION HEAT TREATMENT

    WHAT IS INDUCTION HEAT TREATMENT?

    Induction Heat-Treating is the controlled heating and cooling of a metal or alloy in order to obtain a set of desired metallurgical properties.

    Induction annealing is the process by which induction heat is applied to increase a materials’ malleability in order to make it more workable.

    The accuracy availed by induction heat treating, bonding and annealing equipment is ideal in today’s environment where there is little margin for error. KEXIN sells a wide variety of induction annealing and heat treating systems that can be used for heat treating, bonding and annealing.

    THE INDUCTION
    HEAT TREATMENT PROCESS

    Induction heat treatment involves the precise heating and cooling of metals or alloys to achieve specific metallurgical properties. Induction annealing is a technique that utilizes induction heating to enhance a material’s ductility, thereby facilitating its processing. In contemporary manufacturing, this method of heat treatment provides an advantageous blend of speed, consistency, and control.

    THE INDUCTION HEAT TREATMENT PROCESS

    WHAT IS INDUCTION HEAT TREATMENT APPLIED FOR?

    Billet, round bar, square bar induction forging

    It is mainly used for induction heat treating various automobile parts (such as crankshaft connecting rod, leaf spring, punching welding axle housing, various gears, and other parts) .
    The advantages are high heating efficiency, high-temperature control precision, good temperature uniformity of the blank, the small footprint of the equipment, energy-saving saving, and can improvement of the working environment.

    Induction heat treating

    Induction heat treating technology has been widely used in order to improve the fatigue performance and wear resistance of automobile parts.

    Local induction annealing of automobile parts can improve mechanical properties of carburized parts. It is mainly used to reduce the brittleness of parts and improve their toughness, it’s widely used in the thread induction annealing of driving gear -a reducer, instead of the traditional lead furnace induction heating.

    Induction melting casting

    Tt is mainly used for induction smelting and heat preservation of iron and steel materials and non-ferrous metal (aluminum alloy, brass, and other alloy die castings).

    The advantages are fast heating rate, high productivity, good temperature uniformity less equipment investment, and good composition uniformity of liquid metal, which can improve the casting quality.

    Auto parts are cured by induction heating after bonding

    In the use of thermo-rigid adhesive to automotive parts (metal and metal, metal and rubber, metal and glass, etc.,) after bonding through induction heat treating to make the adhesive curing.

    The advantages are no joint without destroy the rust layer. The adhesive can reduce vibration while playing a seal. By induction heat treatment, it has small deformation of parts and stable quality.

    INDUSTRIES OF INDUCTION HEAT TREATMENT

    Induction heat treatment is an important process used in various industries to improve the mechanical properties of metal parts. By subjecting a metal part to controlled heating and cooling cycles, induction heat treatment can change its microstructure to increase hardness, strength, wear resistance and other desired properties. It is widely used in various industries:

    Oil and Gas Industry

    Oil and Gas Industry

    The oil and gas industry relies on induction heat treatment to manufacture components such as drill bits, valves, pumps and pipes. These components are subject to harsh operating conditions, including high pressures, corrosive environments and abrasive substances. Induction hardening and case hardening techniques help improve the wear resistance and extend the service life of these critical parts.

    Heavy Machinery and Equipment

    Heavy Machinery and Equipment

    Induction heat treatment is widely used in the production of heavy machinery and equipment in construction, mining, agriculture and other industries. Components such as gears, rollers, bearings and hydraulic components are induction hardened to withstand the heavy loads, wear and repetitive stresses encountered during operation.

    Manufacturing and Tooling

    Manufacturing and Tooling

    In the wider manufacturing industry, induction heat treatment is essential to improve the performance and longevity of a wide range of tools, dies, molds and machine components. By selectively hardening specific areas or surfaces prone to wear, tools can maintain sharpness and dimensional accuracy, improving productivity and quality in processes such as metal stamping, forging and machining.
