Induction Heating and Heat Treatment

Abstract

Volume 4C is a comprehensive guide to electromagnetic induction and how to employ it in heat treating, metalworking, and materials manufacturing. Using diagrams, photos, and data plots, the volume reveals the science behind induction heating processes such as induction hardening, tempering, stress relieving, melting, brazing, soldering, and the preheating of metals and alloys prior to working. It also presents practical information on process control, modeling and simulation, and induction heating equipment, including high-voltage transformers, power supplies, and atmospheric chambers. In addition, the volume offers insight on quality assurance, maintenance, and energy use, and it reviews international standards on allowable levels of exposure to electromagnetic fields.
