High frequency of electricity is passed through a coil and is most often used in steel alloys. The amount of heat and the size of the coil will help to determine the amount of time needed for the project being undertaken.

What is induction heating?

Induction heating is the process of heating an electrically conducting object (usually a metal) by electromagnetic induction, where eddy currents are generated within the metal and resistance leads to Joule heating of the metal.induction heater including high frequency induction heating machine and middle frequencey heating machine. Induction heating applications for an induction furnace include induction welding, induction brazing, induction hardening, induction melting, quenching, forging, soldening, induction annealing and other forms of heat treatment. Induction heating is often used to heat graphite crucibles (containing other materials) and is used extensively in the semiconductor industry for the heating of silicon and other semiconductors. Induction heating can produce high power densities which allow short interaction times to reach the required temperature. That translates into lots of energy transferred into a material right now, with a very rapid rise in temperature.


What is case hardening?

Case hardening or surface hardening is the process of hardening the surface of a metal, often a low carbon steel, by infusing elements into the material's surface, forming a thin layer of a harder alloy.


What materials are suitable for natural gas piping?

Pretty much anything - in the UK steel, copper, polyethylene and PVC are all used where suitable.


Is there any difference between work hardening and strain hardening?

In strain hardening hypothesis, the size of the yield locus is assumed to beindependent of the third invariant.In work hardening hypothesis, the size of the yield locus is assumed to depend on the total plastic work done (per unit volume) to achieve the present state of plastic deformation since last annealinfor isotropic hardening Both are same.
