A new approach to induction hardening of automobile transmission gears simultaneously uses medium and high frequencies to achieve the required case characteristics. The process offers many variations of single and combined frequencies to engineer optimum processing parameters for individual gear configurations.
Simultaneous dual-frequency induction heating adds a new dimension to the variables that control the induction heating process. The process requires less energy and space than earlier dual-frequency induction heating systems, as well as atmosphere furnace treating systems. It also can be more easily incorporated into an automated manufacturing line or ...
