Microwave heating is a process within a family of electroheat techniques, such as induction, radio frequency, direct resistance or infra-red heating, all of which utilise specific parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. These processes supplement, and in specific cases totally replace, conventional heating or drying systems used in industry. This is because some conventional systems are very bul...

The characteristics of steels during electroplating or induction heating are very complex. Induction heat-treating of steel has become increasingly important as a means of reducing cost and improving the quality of carbon steel components. The use of high frequency (40 to 2OOkHz) offers many advantages, but tooling and cycle optimization is complex and time consuming. Approximate analytical met...

This research is collaborative investigation with the general-purpose motor manufacturer. To review construction method in production process, we applied the parameter design method of quality engineering and tried to approach the optimization of construction method. Conventionally, press-fitting method has been adopted in process of fitting rotor core and shaft which is main component of motor...

Induction heating is the best method of providing fast, consistent heat for vast selection of manufacturing applications which involve bonding or changing the properties of metals or other electrically-conductive materials. Our project explains the analysis and design of a new AC–AC resonant converter applied to domestic induction heating. The project is based on the half-bridge series resonant...

Induction heating is a widespread industrial technique and a subject of scientific research. The application fields of induction heating increase due to development of modern industrial technologies and advantages of the induction heating process. The development of traditional induction heating system applications for melting or through heating is mainly to increase power or production rates o...

This paper presents an investigation of non-stationary induction heating process applied to AISI 4340 steel spline shafts based on 3D simulation and experimental validation. The study is based on the knowledge, concerning the form of correlations between various induction heating parameters and the final hardness profile, developed in the case of stationary induction heating. The proposed appro...
