What's the difference between single shot hardening and traverse hardening?
There are two methods of heating when using
induction: eddy current heating and hysteretic heating. When it comes to
hardening, however, the two main types are known as single shot hardening and
traverse Induction Hardening in Faridabad.
Single shot hardening systems employ the use of rotated components in the
induction coil, and the entire area is heated at the same time for a
pre-determined amount of time using either a drop quench system or a flood
quench system. Single shot hardening is typically used in applications in which
no other method will reach the intended result, for example, hardening the flat
face of hammers and producing small gears.
Traverse hardening, on the other hand, uses an induction coil for the workpiece to pass through progressively. A following quench spray or ring is used, This process is often used in the manufacturing of shaft type components, including axle shafts, steering components, drive shafts, excavator bucket pins, and power tool shafts. The workpiece is passed through a ring type inductor, which usually features a single turn.
Traverse hardening applications are also used in the manufacturing of certain edge components, including paper knives, lawnmower bottom blades, hacksaw blades, and leather knives.
Ultimately, understanding the processes and details of various induction hardening methods is the key to determining which heat treatment type is best suited for your application needs.
