Herring | 630-834-3017 | heattreatdoctor@ Tips for Selecting Induction Heating Equipment nduction heating equipment is one of those areas that many • Do we need an optical pyrometer as part of the control system? of us need to know more about. We need to know when and What are the effects of overheating and underheating, and how how to apply this technology, if it is the right one for the job can we reject parts based on temperature criteria? and how to purchase it if we need to do so. Let’s learn more. • What, if any, temperature differential will there be, from one II end of the part to the other, from center to surface? The following factors typically infl uence equipment design: • What input voltage do we have in the plant? • Material • What type of plant cooling system is needed? If existing, is • Prior microstructure there unused capacity? • Part geometry • How much will the machine cost to operate per unit of time? • Austenitizing temperature Are there demand charges for electricity (on-peak or off-peak)? • Production rate • How much will it cost to install? • Power requirements, kW* • What maintenance needs to be done on the equipment? How • Frequency selection, kHz* frequently does maintenance need to be performed?
