Induction
Induction Heat Treating is the process in which a part is placed inside a copper coil and heated by a high-frequency alternating current and then quenched. Parts can be softened or hardened by this technique.

TMT Equipment/Variations
The two main types of induction equipment are single shot and scanning machines. A single shot machine will have a stationary setup with a coil matched to the desired area of the part to harden. The part will be heated and then placed into a quench tank. A scanning machine will move the part relative to the coil to progressively heat and quench the part. TMT has in-house coil manufacturing capabilities to tailor the process to your parts. |
