Can induction heating be used in thread rolling?

Fastener manufacturing with induction heating

Induction heating can easily be integrated into the thread rolling production process and has proven to be a more rapid and consistent method of heat that leads to superior repeatability and increased production efficiency in high-volume parts manufacturing.

Benefits of using induction heating for thread rolling include:

• Precise even heating of only the threaded part of the fastener for less material stress
• Higher productivity: decreased cycle times mean increased production rates
• Higher quality parts: produces stronger, more durable threads
• Economical: reduces tool wear for longer tool life
• Efficient: instant on/instant off, no oven ramp up time or heating the surrounding space
