Note: Annealing a Stainless Steel Medical Wire
Objective:
Heat customer supplied parts for an annealing application
End Product:
medical wire
Equipment:
Ambrell EASYHEAT 2.4 kW induction heating system, equipped with a remote work head containing two 0.66 μF capacitors
Materials:
Customer-supplied stainless steel wire
Temperature indicating paint
Temperature:
400 -500 °F (200 - 260 °C)
Frequency:
245 kHz
Testing:
A custom-designed multi-turn helical coil was built to generate the required heating for the application. Initial tests were conducted to optimize the power delivered to the part. Temperature indicating paint was used to determine the heating pattern and the time to temperature
