Relationship between induction frequency and quenching depth (hardening depth)

Summary
Relationship between induction frequency and quenching depth
The quenching depth (hardening depth) depends on the output frequency of induction heater. Generally, higher frequency will bring smaller quenching depth (shallower).
The relationship between the frequency f and the heating depth δ has the following empirical formula:
δ=20/√f(20°C);δ=500/√f(800°C)
Where: f is the frequency, the unit is Hz; δ is the quenching depth, the unit is millimeter (mm).
The relationship between the output frequency and the quenching depth (the cooling medium is tap water) at 800 °C is shown in the table below:

d/mm f/KHZ
0.76 450
1.14 200
2.11 100
2.26 50
3.20 25
5.08 10
9.27 3
16.05 1
22.71 0.5
37.85 0.18
65.53 0.06
