Example of heat treatment of steel: quenching/annealing

quenching/annealing
Specified area heating for hardening or annealing
Specified area heating is available
Hardening sliding area of internal side of ring
Annealing to prevent crack from welding process
quenching/annealing
Rotating quenching and coolant spray coil built-in
Obtainable hard surface and tough inside of steel material
Rapid heat and cool-down is produced by rotary mechanism
and coolant spray
The higher frequency produce in the thinner area heating

Melting at atmosphere or inert gas atmosphere

Indirect melting

When carbon crucible is heated by RF induction, material charged shall be melted by heat conduction from high temperature of carbon crucible.
Same carbon crucible means no affection to heating efficiency caused by difference of material to be melted

Direct melting

When mainly ceramics crucible is used, conductivity material charged is heated by RF energy directly.
Direct heating of material means free from contamination
Otherwise, heating effect depends upon characteristic of material

Zone melting

By the electromagnetic field force of heating coil and eddy current flow at material, material will be melted under floating condition at heating coil area
No using of crucible means free from contamination

Shrinkage fitting and releasing

Shrinkage fitting

Thermal expansion of material by RF induction heating is applied for shrink fitting application such as shaft fixing
Application examples are; motor shaft fixing, high speed tool fixing
To obtain expansion of material, external or internal location of heating coil is selectable

Fitting release

In turn, RF induction method is applied for releasing the inserted part by thermal expansion.

Special application for surface treatment such as thin film formation

The carbon SUSCEPTOR in the quarts chamber is heated up to high temperature by RF induction
When reactant gas is charged into quarts chamber, thin film is formatted on surface of target loaded on SUSCEPTOR.

Application for plastic and rubber industries

Application for plastic and rubber industries◇Joint and/or insert in the field of molded plastic parts assembly
Metal wire or metal net enclosed in the thermo-plastic can easily melt the plastic and obtainable to joint parts or insert metallic fixing.
Example: hermetic sealing by metal wire, knurled nut insertion

◇Drying of coated resin or glue
Heating-up the metallic material quickly by RF induction method, drying process of resin paint or glue coated on surface of metallic material is shortened.

Fluid and/or gas heating

By the method of heat conduction from carbon media to be heated up by RF induction, fluid and gas heating is available.
Carbon media such as lotus root form located inside of quarts chamber is easily heated up by RF induction.
Superheated steam (300 to 800 Celsius) generated has high enthalpy and applied for unique application.
Liquid body such as pure water heat-up is obtainable by using GLC(Glass Like Carbon) media without contamination
