Presentation discusses different aspects of using induction for heating various special alloys includingØ High production multi-station induction system for heating 210mm-440mm diameter and 1200mm long special alloy billets (including, Inconel, Incoloy, stainless steels, etc.) prior to piercing and direct extrusion.
Ø Heating of selective areas of special alloy parts
Ø Numerical computer modeling of induction heating of special alloys. Advanced numerical computer modeling ensures optimal process design and takes into consideration non-linear physical properties of billet materials. It in imperative to take into consideration electromagnetic end and edge effects as well as thermal edge effect when developing induction process.
Summary: Induction heating is effectively used for heating 210mm-440mm diameter and 1200mm long special alloy billets (including, Inconel, Incoloy, stainless steels, etc.) prior to piercing and direct extrusion. Sofisticated numerical computer modeling ensures optimal process design and takes into consideration non-linear physical properties of billet materials. It in imperative to take into consideration electromagnetic end and edge effects as well as thermal edge effect when developing induction systems.
