What is induction annealing?

What is induction annealing?
This process heats metals that have already undergoneĀ significant processing. Induction annealing reducesĀ hardness, improves ductility and relieves internalĀ stresses. Full-body annealing is a process where theĀ complete workpiece is annealed. With seam annealingĀ (more accurately known as seam normalizing), onlyĀ the heat-affected zone produced by the welding processĀ is treated.
What are the benefits?
Induction annealing and normalizing delivers fast, reliableĀ and localized heat, precise temperature control,Ā and easy in-line integration. Induction treats individualĀ workpieces to exact specifications, with control systemsĀ continuously monitoring and recording the entireĀ process.
Where is it used?
Induction annealing and normalizing is widely used inĀ the tube and pipe industry. It also anneals wire, steelĀ strips, knife blades and copper tubing. In fact, inductionĀ is ideal for virtually any annealing task.
What equipment is available?
Each DAWEIĀ Induction annealing system is built to satisfyĀ specific requirements. At the heart of each system is
an DAWEIĀ Induction HeatingĀ generator that features automaticĀ load matching and a constant power factor at allĀ power levels. Most of our delivered systems also featureĀ custom-built handling and control solutions.

Induction Annealing Aluminum PIpe

Induction Annealing Aluminum PIpe With High Frequency Induction Heating Machine

Objective Annealing aluminum fuel tank fill neck to 650 ĀŗF (343 ĀŗC)
Material Aluminum fill neck 2.5ā€ (63.5mm) diameter, 14ā€ (35.5cm) long
Temperature 650 ĀŗF (343 ĀŗC)
Frequency 75 kHz
Equipment ā€¢DW-HF-45kW induction heating system, equipped with aĀ remote workhead containing eight 1.0Ī¼F capacitors for aĀ total of 2.0Ī¼F
ā€¢ An induction heating coil designed and developedĀ specifically for this application.
Process An eight turn helical is used to heat the tube for annealing. ToĀ anneal the full length of the tube, the tube is placed in the coilĀ and heated for 30 seconds then rotated and the bottom half isĀ heated for an additional 30. The tube is then bent while hot toĀ prevent cracking.
Results/Benefits Induction heating provides:
ā€¢ High efficiency, low energy cost
ā€¢ Fast, controllable and repeatable process
ā€¢ Prevention of cracks
ā€¢ Hands-free heating that involves no operator skill forĀ manufacturing
ā€¢ Even distribution of heating

 

 

Induction Annealing Copper Wire

Induction Annealing Copper Wire

Objective:Ā Induction Annealing a brazing copperĀ wireĀ for preform production.

Material: Copper Nickel Silver 2774 Alloy rod 0.070″ (1.8mm) diameter.

Temperature 650ĀŗF(343.3ĀŗC)

Frequency 580 kHz

Equipment: ā€¢Ā DW-UHF-6kW-III induction heating systemĀ equipped with a remote workhead with one 1.0 Ī¼F capacitor, and a 4-20 mA input controller to aid in voltage ramping. ā€¢ AnĀ induction heating coilĀ designed and developed specifically for this application.

Process A unique helical coil consisting of four consecutive coils connected in parallel with a quartz tube lining is used to heat the wire to 650ĀŗF (343.3ĀŗC) for annealing.

Results/BenefitsĀ Induction heatingĀ provides: ā€¢ Higher productivity of 27′ (8.2m) per minute ā€¢ Reduction in surface oxidation & scaling ā€¢ Consistent, repeatable results

Annealing Metal Stamp With Induction

Annealing Metal Stamp With Induction

Objective:Ā Induction HeatingĀ the opposite end of a metal stamp so that it mushrooms instead of cracks/splits when struck by a hammer.

Material S-7 steel of varying rectangular cross sectional sizes

Temperature 1400-1800 ĀŗF (760-982) ĀŗC

Frequency 300 kHz

EquipmentĀ DW-UHF-10KW, induction heating system, equipped with a remote heat station containing two 1.5 Ī¼F capacitors for a total of 0.75 Ī¼F and three different induction heating coils designed and developed specifically for this application.

Process One five-turn and two four-turn helical coils are used to heat the end of stamps to the required temperature. Two part sizes can be run in each of coils, using the same machine settings except for cycle time. Cycle rates dependent upon the crosssection size. The 3/8″ (0.9525 cm) square size is has a rate of below 10 seconds. The rate for the middle size, Ā½” ā€“ 1 Ā½ ” (1.27 – 3.81 cm) is 30 to 60 seconds. A 1″ (2.54 cm) square part takes approximately two minutes. Fixturing can influence the length of the cycle time required. For shorter heat times a larger power supply may be used.

Results/Benefits Precise heat only to the area that needs annealing is more efficient and repeatable than heating with a torch.
