Induction hardening uses induction heating and rapid cooling (quenching) to increase the hardness and durability of steel. Induction is a non-contact process that produces intense, localized and controlled heat quickly. By induction, only the part to be hardened is heated. Optimal results are achieved by optimizing the heating cycle, frequency, and process parameters such as coil and quench design.

What are the advantages of induction hardening
Induction hardening increases throughput. It is a very fast and repeatable process that can be easily integrated into a production line. It is clean, safe and usually has a small footprint. Workpieces are usually treated individually. This ensures that each individual workpiece is hardened to its own exact specifications. The optimized process parameters for each part can be stored on your server. Induction hardening is very energy efficient because only the part to be hardened is heated.
