This ALL NEW ASM Handbook gives design, manufacturing, and material
engineers a practical and comprehensive reference on the
technologies and applications of induction heating and heat
treatment. This book provides practitioners, students, engineers,
and scientists the knowledge to more clearly understand and obtain
solutions for typical induction heating problems that they
encounter on an everyday basis. Continuing in the tradition of the
ASM Handbook series, this Volume provides a unique combination of
practical knowledge grasping ready-to-use diagrams, technical
procedures, guidelines, and good practices with advanced
theoretical knowledge emphasizing on specifics of induction
processes compared to alternative technologies. An appreciable
amount of material is devoted to practical aspects, including
review of standard and customized induction equipment. Special
attention is paid to describing quality assurance, process
monitoring, maintenance and safety procedures, energy and
environmental aspects, including control of magnetic field exposure
and review of international standards and regulations. Written by
internationally recognized experts, ASM Handbook Volume 4C covers
the breadth and significance of induction heating and
heat-treatment technologies and applications. Beginning with
reviewing electrical, electromagnetic, heat transfer and material
science fundamentals related to induction heating, along with
coverage critical facets associated with this technology such as:
Nonequilibrium nature of phase transformation and other
metallurgical subtleties related to the specifics of induction
hardening, tempering, stress relieving, heating prior to hot
working and melting. Review of ASTM and SAE standards and
guidelines in proper measuring of hardness case depth and heat
affected zone. Pattern specification as well as issues and
complications related to different hardness measuring techniques.
Destructive and nondestructive testing. Selection of critical
process parameters and inductor styles, heat pattern control, the
use of magnetic flux concentrators, quench design subtleties as
well as a review and explanation of common misconceptions and
erroneous assumptions. Formation of residual and transient stresses
and their impact on a performance of heat treated components.
Temperature requirements for heating carbon steels, alloy steels,
super alloys, titanium, aluminum and copper alloys and other
materials prior to hot and warm working. Novel technological
developments in heating billets, bars, tubes, rods and other
metallic workpieces. Optimization procedures and strategies in
obtaining optimal process control algorithms based on various
technological criteria, real-life constrains and cost functions
(e.g., maximizing throughput and temperature uniformity, energy
effectiveness, minimizing required shop floor space and metal loss,
etc.). Principles of multiobjective optimization of induction
heating devices. Induction hardening of critical components,
including gears, axle shafts, camshafts, crankshafts, and other
components used in automotive and off-road machinery, aeronautic
and aerospace engineering, farming, appliance, oil and gas
industries. Failure analysis of induction heat treated components
and comprehensive review of defects and abnormal characteristics.
Good practices in designing and fabricating long-lasting induction
coils and ways to avoid their premature failures. Special
applications of electromagnetic induction, including melting
glasses and oxides, optical fiber draw, nanoparticle heating and
hyperthermia applications. Design principles and operation
specifics of transistorized and thyristorized power supplies for
induction heating needs. Modern computer modeling and specifics of
simulation of induction thermal processes.
