Intro: Induction heating has been used extensively for heat treating processes in a variety of metalworking applications.Some of these applications are associated with discrete parts such as shafts, bearings, gears, and hubs. Here, the most common processes are

Intro: Objective To heat the ends of steel rods to 1800F prior to a forging operation. Processing of the rods includes heating, pressing in a two part die to forge the push rod end, and a final heating in a channel coil to temper the rods and relieve the forging
