Induction Hot Forming Titanium Rod

Description

Induction Hot Forming Titanium Rod With RF Induction Heating Equipment

Objective To heat a titanium rod to 1700ยฐF (926.7ยฐC) within 60 secondsย for hot forming.
Material Titanium rods, 1.25โ€(31.8mm) diameter, 5โ€(127mm) length
Temperature 1700ยฐF (926.7ยฐC)
Frequency 70 kHz
Equipment โ€ขDW-HF-60kW induction heating system, equipped with aย remote workhead.
โ€ข An induction heating coil designed and developedย specifically for this application.
Process A specially designed thirteen-turn helical induction coil is usedย to heat the titanium rod to 1700ยบF (926.7ยฐC). Two opticalย pyrometers are used to measure the temperature at theย surface and center of the part. Both the surface and center ofย the titanium rod are heated to 1700ยบF (926.7ยฐC) within 60ย seconds.
Results/Benefits Induction heating provides:
โ€ข Improved production rates with minimal defects
โ€ข Improved mechanical properties
โ€ข Even distribution of heating
