An organization from the automotive industry had been using torch heating for their steel rod assembly preheating process. However, due to process improvements thanks to new automation in their facility, torch heating became too slow. This resulted in a backlog that kept them from maximizing throughput. So they turned to THE LAB at Ambrell to see if induction heating could resolve this issue. 

A company that specializes in flow control solutions turned to THE LAB at Ambrell to heat a steel valve to 400 ^°F (204 ^°C) for a welding preheating application. This process is new to the customer and they turned to induction because of the potential for rapid heating and reduced cycle times. 

A client attempted to cold forge a steel part with a flange, but wasn't getting the desired results. Consequently, they turned to THE LAB at Ambrell to see if hot forging would meet their time and quality objectives. Their goal was to heat the part to 1800 ºF (982 ºC) within 30 seconds.

In down-hole fixed-cutter, rock or hammer drill bit manufacturing and rebuild operations, multiple tool inserts are individually brazed onto a single drill bit. These inserts may be polycrystalline diamond compact (PCD) or tungsten carbide insert (TCI).
