Alpha Detroit undertakes induction hardening at its Moorabbin heat-treatment facility for suitable shafts, pins, axles, rollers and other wear-critical components. Controlled, localised heating can harden specified areas while retaining the underlying core properties required by the component.
Send us the material grade, component drawing, target hardness, required hardened depth and hardening pattern. We will assess the requirement against the vertical induction scanner and confirm whether the geometry and specification suit the process.
Vertical Induction Scanner Specifications
| Specification | Published Capability |
| Maximum component diameter | 175 mm |
| Maximum component length | 1,800 mm |
| Published hardness depth | Up to 15 mm on suitable components |
| Typical components | Pins, axles, shafts and rollers |
| Treatment approach | Localised or selective surface hardening |
| Depth and tolerance | Confirmed from material, geometry, drawing, hardness pattern and acceptance criteria |
When Induction Hardening Is Suitable
Induction hardening is designed for components that need wear resistance in defined surface zones without heating the entire part in the same way as a furnace process. It can support selective hardening patterns, controlled case depths and repeatable processing for compatible production batches.
The published 15 mm figure is a maximum capability, not a guaranteed result for every steel or component. Achievable depth and hardness depend on material response, geometry, coil configuration, power, frequency, quenching and the nominated inspection method.
Information Required Before Processing
- Steel grade and starting condition
- Fully dimensioned component drawing
- Overall diameter and length
- Required surface-hardness range
- Required hardened depth and tolerance
- Areas to be hardened or left untreated
- Batch quantity
- Inspection and reporting requirements
Moorabbin Induction Hardening Facility
Alpha Detroit operates from 8 and 14 Independence Street, Moorabbin, providing practical access for engineering and manufacturing businesses across Melbourne’s south-east. Because this is the company’s physical facility, the page has legitimate local relevance without artificial suburb repetition.
