Note: Hardening of Steel Cam Assembly
Objective:
To harden the perimeter of ¼” thick steel cam assemblies
End Product:
Steel cam assemblies
Equipment:
Ambrell 5 kW, induction heating system, equipped with a remote heat station containing one 1.0µF capacitor and an induction heating coil designed and developed specifically for this application
Materials:
¼” thick steel cam assemblies of varying geometries
Temperature:
1650 ºF (900 °C)
Frequency:
177 kHz
Testing:
A two-turn helical coil is used to heat the cams. The heat time varies from 120-150 seconds. After heating, the parts are quenched in water.
Benefits:
-
Uniform heating for uniform results
-
One coil can be used for many geometries
-
Consistent results from piece to piece
