Note: Heating of steel rivet ends (turbines)

Objective:

Heating steel rivets prior to head forming

End Product:

Steel rivets

Equipment:

Ambrell 3.5 kW induction heating system, equipped with a remote workhead containing one 1.5 μF capacitor.
An induction heating coil designed and developed specifically for this application.

Materials:

N/A

Temperature:

1292 °F (700 °C)

Frequency:

283 kHz

Testing:

A single turn solenoid coil is used to heat the rivet to 1292 °F (700 °C) for 10 to 15 seconds prior to head forming. A hand held work head is used. 

Benefits:

  • Easy to use because of the hand held unit and floor switch

  • No flame or gas required

  • Repeatable, fixed heat cycle

  • Saves energy, only rivet head is heated
