Induction Heating titanium and stainless steel for hot heading
Description
Induction Heating titanium and stainless steel for hot heading
Objective
Continuously induction heating titanium and stainless steel wire for a hot heading application
Material: 0.04โ(1.2mm) OD titanium wire, 0.09โ (2.4mm) OD stainless steel wire
Temperature :700 ยบF ( 371 ยบC)
Frequency: 400 kHz
Equipment โข DW-UHF-20kW induction heating system, equipped with a remote workhead containing one 0.5ยตF capacitor.
โข An induction heating coil designed and developed specifically for this application.
Induction Heating Process
A four turn helical coil with 20โ (50.8cm) busswork is used to continuously heat the wire. The wire runs through the coil at a rate of 95 parts per minute, maintaining a constant temperature of 700 ยบF ( 371 ยบC) prior to hot heading.
Narrative โข 20โ (50.8cm) busswork is required due to the location of the automated process. The customer currently uses DW-UHF equipment and is upgrading their current equipment. They chose HLQ because of their previous experiences with HLQ induction heating equipment and support.
Results/Benefits
Induction heating provides:
โข Improved production rates with minimal defects
โข Constant controllable heat
โข Hands-free heating that involves no operator skill for manufacturing
โข Even distribution of heating
