Annealing Saw Blades with Induction

Induction Annealing Saw Blades

Objective:ย Induction Annealing saw bladesย used for cutting bread, prior to hole punching.

Material .38″ (9.6mm) wide and .51″ (12.9mm) wide continuous strips of 400 series stainless steel.

Temperature 600ยฐC (315.6ยฐF) for one second

Frequency 589kHz

Equipment โ€ขย DW-UHF-6KW induction heating systemย equipped with a remote workhead containing one 1.00 ฮผF capacitor. โ€ข An induction heating coil designed and developed specifically for this application.

Process A three turn helical coil at a 45ยบ angle is used to anneal a 1.2″ (30.5mm) strip of saw blade prior to hole punching.

Results/Benefitsย Induction heating provides: โ€ข Improved quality of blades at hole punching location โ€ข Decreased scrap product โ€ข Easily incorporated into existing production lines
