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
