Andreas Klassen, PhD, Head of Research & Development at EMA Indutec, is a proven expert in numerical calculations and the simulation of induction processes. Together with Florian Kickinger, process engineer at AICHELIN Neuanlagenbau, he used the example of a large gear component to compare how induction heating with subsequent quenching differs from conventional heat treatment.
"Inductive hardening vs. conventional heat treatment on the example of a large gear component"
In the technical article published in "The Monty Heat Treat News", our experts address these topics, among others:
In addition, the methods compared differ in terms of energy and process-related emissions - keyword decarbonization.
The decisive factor in the choice of heat treatment process is the component and the requirements placed on it, which determine the most suitable heat treatment concept. In addition to the process-related costs, environmental aspects and tax incentives must also be taken into account.
