In this paper there are offered calculated and experimental methods of simulating the high-speed modes of induction heating and designing the new inductor to provide the preset nonuniform thermal and thermostress state for cooled and uncooled blades of gas-turbine engine by changing the inductor width (specific power of induction heating). The peculiarity of this technique is the possibility of conducting the thermal cyclic tests of gas-turbine-engine parts with remaining the guaranteed minimal constant clearance between inductor and blade surface that reduces the probability of temperature-field distortion in changing the blades and promotes the efficiency enhancement of induction heating. Obtained results were used to conduct the tests of blades of gas-turbine-engine turbine. Carried out tests at this set with using the high-speed modes of induction heating helped to reveal quickly required changes in the blade structure.
