Hardening and tempering

Forever Furnace is the manufacturer of hardening and tempering system in China,which can do heat treating for steel bar, steel pipe,round bar,shaft, axle and so on.

Hardening

Hardening is a process of heating followed by cooling generally fast for increase hardness and mechanical strength of steel.
To this end, the steel is heated to a temperature slightly higher than the upper critical (between 850-900ºC) and then cooled more or less quickly (depending on the characteristics of steel) in a medium such as oil, air, water, water mixed with soluble polymers, etc.
There are different methods for heating such as electric oven, gas cooker, salt, flame, induction, etc.
The steels that are normally used in induction hardening contain from 0.3% to 0.7% carbon (hypoeutectic steels).

Induction heating advantages:

It treats a specific part of the piece (hardening profile)
Frequency Control and heating times
Cooling control
Energy saving
No physical contact
Control and located heat
Can be integrated in production lines
Increase performance and saves space
Induction hardening can be done in two different ways:
Static: consists of setting the part in front of the inductor and carrying out the operation without moving either the part or the inductor. This type of operation is very fast, requires only simple mechanics and enables a very accurate localisation of the treated area, even with parts with complicated geometry.
Progressive (by scanning): consists of going over the part with a continuous operation, moving either the part or the inductor. This kind of operation means that parts with large surfaces and large sizes can be treated.
For the same kind of part the scanning treatment requires less power with longer treatment time in compare to static treatment.

Tempering

Tempering is a process able to decrease the hardness, strength and increases the toughness of hardened steels, while removes the tensions created in the temple, leaving the steel with the required hardness.
The traditional tempering system consists of heating the parts at relatively low temperatures (from 150ºC to 500°C, always below the lineAC1) for a while and then let them cool slowly.

Induction heating advantages:

Shorter times in the process
Temperature control
Integration in production lines
Energy saving
Immediate availability of parts
Saves floor space
Improved environmental conditions
The process of hardening and tempering is a treatment for various components in many industrial sectors.
