Annealing Titanium Fasteners With Induction

Description

Annealing Titanium Fasteners With Induction Heater

Objective Heating a titanium fastener to 1100-1450ยบF (593-788ยบC) for anย annealing process.
Material 0.06โ€ (1.5mm) high zone on a titanium fastener measuringย 0.163-0.375โ€ (4.14-9.52mm) in diameter and 0.5-3.0โ€ (12.7-ย 76.2mm) in length

induction-annealing-titanium
Temperature 1100-1450ยบF (593-788ยบC)
Frequency 150 kHz
Equipment โ€ขDW-UHF-20kW induction heating system, equipped with aย remote workhead containing one 0.66ฮผF capacitor.
โ€ข An induction heating coil designed and developedย specifically for this application.
Process A three turn concentrator plate coil is used to heat the fastenerย for 0.2 seconds. This is an automated process that includesย robotic placement of parts in the coil from a bowl fed trackย while Argon gas is flooded across the part to prevent oxidation.ย The parts are processed at a rate of 1000 parts per minute.
Results/Benefits Induction heating provides:
โ€ข Can be incorporated easily with pick and place robotics.
โ€ข Flameless process.
โ€ข Heating is limited to the specific area.
