Induction heating is being actively studied, and High frequency induction heating (HFIH) is widely used for various industrial applications. The reason for highlighting induction heating is that it has many advantages compared with previously used heating methods. The performance of HFIH is governed by a number of variables, including the applied frequency and power, shape of the coil, and duration of the process. We assumed that two of these variables are dominant. The first variable is the shape of the coil. The second variable is the frequency related to the skin effect. We found the optimal hardening conditions by changing these variables. The HFIH process was simulated using FEM and compared with results from experiments. We believe that the results of this study will be helpful for users of HFIH in the near future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
