A New Generation of Induction Hardened Rolls
The latest induction hardening machines facilitate the production of a new generation of larger induction hardened rolls, achieving a remarkable hardening depth of up to 50 mm.
To achieve larger case depths and the desired hardness profiles in larger, more massive components, these machines are equipped with a built-in bi-frequency system, incorporating two generators and a high-frequency and a low-frequency inductor. Our bi-frequency machines have two inductors that operate simultaneously, one with a high frequency (200 Hz – 800 Hz) and the other with a low frequency (50 Hz – 200 Hz). This configuration enables extended hardening durations, increased power input, and deep penetrating heat, resulting in a hardening depth of up to 50 mm.
Bi-Frequency Technology
Bi-frequency technology is advantageous due to the lower material distortion and a better distribution of residual stresses. The induction hardening process is fully automated and computer-controlled, with continuously adjustable induction frequency to accommodate varying hardening depths. These machines also enable the rehardening of used rolls and the preheating of rolls.
