Induction heating has become the most common method for quenching various shafts. Induction heating is used to rapidly heat the steel shaft to 800-1,000 °C in mere seconds, followed by immediate cooling to harden the surface of the shaft, increasing hardness and wear resistance.

Equipment:

Vertical induction hardening machine

According to the depth requirements of the hardened layer, we will use a high frequency induction heating power supply, a medium frequency induction heating power supply or an ultra-high frequency induction heating power supply.

Also, we can equip it with a built-in water cooling system.

Benefits:

  • Compared to conventional furnaces, induction hardening is faster, on average, with only a few seconds or minutes per shaft.
  • Induction hardening systems can be integrated into the production line to automate the entire production process.
  • Guaranteed repeatability and consistency of results.
  • The entire heating process is controllable.
