| [New
techno- logy for a time-tested method] |
Surface hardening is a
useful method for restricting the hardening of steel
parts, which may at times be quite intricately shaped, to
certain areas. Components are deliberately raised by
means of induction flame heating
to the required hardening
temperature and then quenched.
Flame hardening of a pipe-bending matrix |
Typical for this type of hardening technique is a hardening process characterized by surface hardness, transition zone and soft core. By fixing the machine parameters one can ensure that this method of hardening is subject to a high degree of reproducibility. Virtually all types of steel, provided their carbon content is sufficiently high (from circa .3% up), may be considered for surface hardening. The types of steel suitable for this purpose may be found in DIN 17112. Since the Reese Hardening Plants have burners and induction coils for all standard components, we can guarantee a speedy handling of most orders. | ||||
