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 […]

Analysis and Effects of Process Parameters in Induction Hardening

27 January 2017

Induction hardening technology employs a refined control setup, with magnetically induced energy patterns acting as a contact-free heat treatment mechanism. A hardening profile is established by the induction station’s electrically manipulated magnetic fields. Science-based principles now gain traction, but what criteria are we hinting at here? A detailed analysis is […]

Differences between Induction Hardening and Case Hardening

18 January 2017

Workpiece hardening is a central part of any heat treatment facilities’ work output, so it’s only logical that several alternative techniques should develop in response to this need for mechanical toughness. Let’s compare two of these popular hardening techniques. Essentially, we’ll be noting the differences that exist between induction hardening […]

Black Oxide Failure and Common Problems in Application

13 December 2016

A black oxide finish imbues a worked ferrous component with an attractive ebony coating. The process transforms a thin layer of surface metal into iron oxide, so no deposits are called for here, just a chemical reaction that enhances corrosion resistance. As advantageous as this supplementary feature undoubtedly is, black […]
