Induction Hardening

Appropriate for applications ranging from armor plating and autoclaves to springs, saw blades, and mining machines, induction hardening is widely used for surface hardening steel, but can be used with other materials as well. At The Euclid Heat Treating Company, we work with additional materials such as metal powders, nickel cobalt alloys, beryllium copper, and aluminum. We feature 14 furnaces and a can accommodate parts that measure 36" in diameter and 66" in length. Euclid adheres to ISO/TS16949:2009 standards, and we pride ourselves on being one of the largest, privately-owned, heat treating plants in the area.

Hardening Methods
HARDENING (up to 2250°F)
Hardening via water-quench, oil-quench, forced- or still-air quench, or aging results in improved mechanical properties, hardness, and toughness of the alloy material.

Induction
A widely used process for the surface hardening of steel. The components are heated by means of an alternating magnetic field to a temperature within or above the transformation range followed by immediate quenching. The core of the component remains unaffected by the treatment and its physical properties are those of the bar from which it was machined, while the hardness of the case can be within the range 37/58 Rc. Carbon and alloy steels with a carbon content in the range 0.40/0.45% are most suitable for this process.
