INDUCTION HARDENING

Induction Hardening

At Black Metallic LLP SP, we perform case hardening of metallic components up to 50 HRS and 0.060” using induction hardening. This method quickly and selectively hardens the surface of a metal part by placing a copper coil carrying a significant alternating current near the part, generating heat through eddy currents and hysteresis losses. The part is then quenched, typically with a water-based solution, transforming the structure into martensite, which is significantly harder than the previous structure.

Key benefits of Induction Hardening:

  • Increased strength and wear life of parts with minimal distortion.
  • Ability to adjust hardness levels through tempering after induction hardening.
