EFFICIENCY ANALYSIS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION HEAT TREATMENT FOR IMPROVING MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF MANUFACTURING STEELS

Abstract

Electromagnetic induction heat treatment is an excellent and controllable method of enhancing the mechanical properties of certain engineering steels. The purpose of this research is to conduct a numerical simulation study on the modeling of heat treatment based on induction. The main objective of this study is to examine thermal distributions and heating rates along with their effects on mechanical behavior such as hardness tensile strength and microstructure. A finite element-based simulation model is developed to simulate the induction heating at different operating parameters like frequency, power input and coil shape.
