Unlocking the Heat:10 FAQs About Induction Hardening What exactly is induction hardening? Induction hardening is a heat treatment process that uses high-frequency electromagnetic fields to rapidly heat the surface of a metal workpiece. This targeted heating, followed by controlled cooling (quenching), creates a hardened surface layer with improved wear resistance and fatigue strength. What makes … Read more
Electromagnetic Transformation: Reducing Heavy Oil Viscosity and Enhancing Fluidity With Induction Heating Introduction Heavy oil, a dense and viscous form of petroleum, presents significant challenges for extraction and transportation.
