Introduction
Induction heating is a non contact heating process which uses
the principle of electromagnetic induction to produce heat
inside the surface layer of a work-piece. By placing
a conductive material into a strong alternating magnetic field,
electric current can be made to flow in the material thereby
creating heat due to the I2R losses in the material. In magnetic
materials, further heat is generated below the curie point due
to h ysteresis losses. The current generated flows
predominantly in the surface layer, the depth of this layer
being dictated by the frequency of the alternating field, the
surface power density,
the p ermeability of the material, the heat time and the
diameter of the bar or material thickness. By quenching this
heated layer in water, oil, or a p olymer based quench, the
surface layer is altered to form a m artensitic structure which
is harder than the base metal.
Need of the project
Hardening is a metallurgical metalworking process
used to increase the hardness of a metal. The hardness
of a metal is directly proportional to the uniaxial yield
stress at the location of the imposed strain. A
harder metal will have a higher resistance to plastic
deformation than a less hard metal.
