Note: Pre-heating three rods for hot heading
Objective:
Simultaneously heat three inconel rods to 2150 °F (1176 °C)
End Product:
Inconel rods
Equipment:
Ambrell 40 kW induction heating system, equipped with a remote workhead containing three 0.75 μF capacitors for a total of 0.25 μF
An induction heating coil designed and developed specifically for this application.
Materials:
3 inconel rods 1.0 in (25.4 mm) OD, 8.0 in (203.2 mm) length
Temperature:
2150 °F (1176 °C)
Frequency:
135 kHz
Testing:
A three-station helical coil is designed for this application with seven turns at each station. The Inconel rods are placed inside the coils and power is applied for twenty two seconds. A five second heat soak is recommended to allow heat to penetrate to the center of the rod.
Benefits:
-
Improved production rates with minimal defects
-
Reduced need for post production tempering and heat treating
-
Even distribution of heating
