Note: Annealing Lock Nuts
Objective:
To heat locknuts to 2150 °F (1176 °C) for annealing
End Product:
Locknuts
Equipment:
- Ambrell 3.0 kW induction heating system, equipped with a remote workhead containing one 0.66 μF capacitor.
- An induction heating coil designed and developed specifically for this application.
Materials:
Waspaloy locknut
Temperature:
2150 °F (1176 °C)
Frequency:
362 kHz
Testing:
A three turn helical coil is used to heat the locknut to 2150 °F for 5 seconds.
Benefits:
Induction heating provides:
- Produces repeatable, rapid and accurate heating cycles making it ideal for in-line production processes
- Can heat very small areas within precise production tolerances
- Even distribution of heating
