Induction Heating Steel Part For Hot Heading With IGBT Induction Heater
Objective Heating steel parts to 1900ยบF (1038ยบC) for hot headingย application
Material Steel parts with 7/16โ (11.11mm) OD and ceramic piece
Temperature 1900 ยบF (1038ยบC)
Frequency 440 kHz
Equipment โข DW-UHF-6kW induction heating system, equipped with aย remote workhead containing one 0.66ฮผF capacitor.
โข An induction heating coil, designed and developedย specifically for this application.
Process A four turn helical coil with ceramic insert is used to heat aย 0.75โ (19mm) section of the part to 1900ยบF (1038ยบC) for 7.5ย seconds. A ceramic piece is so the part does not come in
contact with the coil.
Results/Benefits Induction heating provides:
โข Hands-free heating that involves no operator skill forย manufacturing
โข Direct application of the heat on the work piece withย precision and consistency
โข Even distribution of heating
โข Low pressure and minimal residual part stress
