Summary: Induction heat-treating coils & quench systems are expensive tooling that if not designed correctly or properly maintained can have short usefulness. This paper will cover coil and quench design and maintenance. Decades of service are possible for coils and quench systems. Suggested maintenance schedules, quench control systems, polymer, water and air quenching will all be covered in a simple to understand format.
