Induction Heating Process Simulation for Forging In the past, the proper induction heating of forging billets presented challenges to the forger that could only be resolved through trial and error. Now, by using advanced computer simulations to model the heating and forging processes, hot-forging designers have powerful tools to reduce the guesswork and unit costs.
