Induction Tempering

Induction Tempering

Induction tempering is widely employed in the automotive industry to temper surface-hardened components such as shafts, bars and joints. The process is also used in the tube and pipe industry to temper through hardened work pieces. Induction tempering is sometimes performed in the hardening station, sometimes in one or several separate temper stations.

Advantages Of Induction Tempering

The main advantage of induction over furnace tempering is speed. Induction can temper work pieces in minutes, sometimes even seconds. Furnaces typically take hours. And as induction tempering is perfect for inline integration, it minimizes the number of components in process. Induction tempering facilitates quality control of individual work pieces. Integrated induction temper stations also save valuable floor space.
