The two-inductor heat treatment system for rolls of rolling mills is highly flexible and can improve the quality of heat treatment while solving energy-efficiency and productivity problems. A digital model of induction heat treatment of rolls with the computation of electromagnetic, temperature and stress fields is developed taking into account the characteristics of power supplies and control systems for heat treatment modes. Particular attention is paid to the reliability of frequency converters in the presence of magnetic coupling between inductors. Recommendations on frequency selection and inverter settings are given. A universal method of digital design and control of thermal conditions in induction heat treatment systems is considered.
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.
