Induction Forging
Induction forging: is a process of heating metals by means of Induction Heater. Basically metals are heated to between 1,100 'C (2.010 'F) and 1,200 °C (2,190 °F) to increase their malleability and to help flow in the forging die. Types Bar end heating: Bar end heating is basically used where only a portion of the bar is to be forged.
Typical applications of bar end heating are:
- Hot heading of bolts
- Anti roll bars
- Mining tools
Billet heating:
- In the induction billet heating the whole of the billet is subjected to heating. The billets are passed through the water cooled coils which are made up of either ceramic or asbestos. The Billets are heated one after the other and after reaching the forging temperature, the billets are subjected to the Hydraulic or
Hammer Presses for the following parts:
- Small crankshafts
- Camshafts
- Pneumatic and hydraulic fittings
- Hammer heads
- Engine valves
