Bodycote a leading commerical supplier of induction harding, annealing and brazing services. Our North American network of plants has more than 100 induction hardening cells. Equipment includes single and multiple spindle scanning machines, static or single position machines, lift and rotate systems and numerous custom machines including gear tooth-to-tooth hardening machines. Power supplies include up to 500 kW and frequencies of 1, 3 and 10 kHz, mid range frequencies (30 – 90 kHz) and radio frequencies range up to 450 kHz. What is induction heat-treating? – Induction heat-treating and brazing is usually a localized process that relies on the electromagnetic properties of conductive materials. Induction technology allows the design engineer to specify hardening, annealing or brazing for only the area or areas of a component that require improved strength and or wear properties. Localized heat-treating may result in reduced dimensional movement, more predictable dimensional movement and localized heat effected zones that optimize post heat treatment processes like hobbing, What materials work well? – Any conductive material may be induction hardened. In particular, castings, forgings, powder metal, cast irons and other alloyed steels and stainless steels are good candidates. Mechanical properties including hardness, strength, wear, and fatigue can be significantly improved. Very low carbon steels required to optimize a manufacturing process may be carburized after machining then induction hardening to optimize mechanical properties. What kind of parts are induction hardened and brazed? - The process is commonly used for axle shafts, engine and transmission gears, cams, bearing races, tabs and teeth of stampings, ball studs, engine heads, lawn and garden tools, and many other components. >>Click
