Induction hardening provides excellent hardness distribution with minimal deformations, and also offers significant benefits over conventional techniques. However, induction hardening also places high ...

Case hardening process used to increase wear resistance, surface hardness and fatigue life through creation of a hardened surface layer while maintaining an unaffected core microstructure. Induction ...

Contour hardening of small gears, such as automotive transmission gears, is beneficial due to the higher strength characteristics and lower distortion. In the past, conventional induction hardening ...

Aqua-Quench 245, a polyalkylene glycol-based polymer, was formulated to be used for induction hardening of high hardenability steel alloy parts such as gears, shafts, crankshafts, camshafts, ...

eldec generators provide excellent technical properties for the induction heating of metals. Induction heating is a very precise and quick process, as heat is applied selectively to the parts of the ...

INDUCTION heating of a metal part is accomplished by placing the part in a magnetic field created by high-frequency, alternating current through an induction coil, thus converting electrical energy ...

Gear manufacturers are frequently asked, “Is this gear strong enough for my application?” Without qualifiers, this question is ambiguous at best. The world record for deadlift is 536 kilograms (1,181 ...
