Experimental stand for investigation of induction hardening of steel elements

Abstract

The experimental stand for investigation of induction surface hardening of gear wheels was described in the paper. In order to control parameters of the process a specialized equipment for identification of all important process parameters including registration of temperature changes in time and measurements of current intensity was installed. Exemplary results are presented. It is planned that the stand will be used as a demonstrator for a presentation of advantages of modern induction hardening technologies.
