Induction Heating Steel Pin For Loosening With RF Induction Heater
Objective Heat steel tie downs on containers to loosen steel pin so pinย can rotate
Material Steel tie-down assembly with a 2.5โ (63.5mm) dia. flange, 1โย (25.4mm) dia. rod and pin ring approx 4โ (101.6mm) OD andย 0.75โ (19.05) thick steel
Temperature 1000ยบF (538ยบC)
Frequency 282 kHz
Equipment โขDW-UHF-20kW induction heating system, equipped with aย remote workhead containing two 1.5ฮผF capacitors for aย total of 0.75ฮผF
โข An induction heating coil designed and developedย specifically for this application.
Process A single turn helical coil is used to heat the assembly. The coilย is placed around the pin and power is applied for 120 seconds.ย After heating, a steel rod is inserted in the pin ring, pressure is
applied and the pin ring spins freely.
Results/Benefits Induction heating provides:
โข Precise and accurate placement of heat without affectingย surrounding areas
โข Much faster process time, from hours to minutes
โข Repeatable and consistent results
โข Even distribution of heating
