Induction Hardening: Cheaper and Faster for Large Volume Repetition Hardening of Pins, Axles and Shafts Compared to Flame and Case Hardening

23 February 2017

Induction hardening technology doesn’t use physical contact. Instead, a series of magnetic fields are projected from a large coil. Workpieces enter the coil, experience this induction effect, and respond by generating surface heat. That workflow suggests a production line of some kind. If so, is its ever-cycling configuration preferred over, […]

Flame Hardening: The Only Suitable Hardening Process for Some Large Unique Components for Large Scale Engineering Projects

08 February 2017

The flame hardening process functions as an exceptional surface hardening solution. Its gas-generated flame hardens selected areas on command, then switches tact to heat treat large surface areas, no matter how eccentric the part’s geometry becomes. Let’s indulge in a little discrete analyzing, a look into flame hardening and the […]
