Do you use heat in your manufacturing process? If yes, choose the popular induction heating solutions to understand how LJ Induction’s heating solutions may increase your process’s efficiency, repeatability, and safety. Many operations, including brazing, soldering, and shrink fitting, make extensive use of induction heating. There is something for everyone, from a hypodermic needle to a big tank wheel. Many firms in the automotive, medical device, and aerospace industries effectively use induction heating in their operations. The induction heating power supply transforms energy from the power grid to a higher frequency alternating current, then sent to a work coil to produce an electromagnetic field within the loop.
Your workpiece is put in that field, which causes eddy currents in it. The friction generated by these currents produces accurate, pure, non-contact heat.
What power needs must be met when heating the workpiece?
The amount of electricity to heat the workpiece is determined by:
- The weight of your workpiece
- Your workpiece’s material qualities
- You’ll need to raise the temperature.
- The amount of heating time is essential to achieve your process requirements
- The field’s efficacy as a result of the coil design
- Any heat losses that occur during the process
After determining the power required to heat your workpiece, we may opt for the appropriate induction heating solutions while keeping coil attachments efficiency in reference. Induction heating allows for better control of the annealing process, and it may be easily generated repeated heating profiles precisely regulating the heating output. Because the magnetic field directly heats the workpiece, a quicker reaction is possible. Furthermore, the induction heating process’s excellent efficiency is critical for such a protracted treatment.
What is explicitly induction annealing?
Annealing is a thermal treatment that involves exposing the material to a high temperature and progressively cooling it. Annealing alters the physical qualities of the material, such as its strength and hardness.
The induction annealing machines from LJ Induction are intended for normalizing, stress-relieving, and process annealing heat transfer. It provides localized heat control and can be easily integrated into manufacturing lines.
What is the purpose of annealing heat treatment?
Annealing will restore ductility after cold working, allowing further processing without breaking. It can also relieve mechanical stresses caused by grinding, machining, and other processes, minimizing deformation during higher-temperature heat treatment procedures. Annealing is used to enhance electrical characteristics in specific circumstances.
What are the goals of annealing?
The annealing’s objectives are as follows:
- Improve mechanical qualities like ductility by refining the grain structure and size of the material.
- Soften the material before increasing its machinability.
- Annealing is a technique used to eliminate gases trapped within the metal during the casting process.
- Relieve internal tension during cold and hot working conditions
- Relieve internal stress caused by casting’s uneven focus. Improve steel uniformity.
- Change the metal’s electrical and magnetic characteristics.
- It gets the metal ready for further heat treatment.
