Induction Machine Hardening

Induction hardening is a heat-treating process used to increase the hardness or wear resistance of a material. Induction hardening heats a material using a form of induction heating to a specific temperature. Once the temperature is reached, it is rapidly cooled by a quenching mediaThe three most common forms of induction hardening are surface hardening, through hardening, and selective hardening. Surface hardening for example is a key hardening process in automotive components.
