Using the metaphor of cooking a steak to its desired level of “doneness,” this article examines the difficulties involved in “cooking” forging billets in induction coils to their most uniform level of completion.

Anhui Anhuang Machinery Co. Ltd. placed an order with SMS group for a fully automatic closed-die forging line for pistons. The 2,500-ton line consists of a fully automatic closed-die forging press and an induction heating system from SMS Elotherm for heating the forging blanks. Anhui Anhuang will be one of the first automotive suppliers in China that is capable of manufacturing pistons for cars and trucks in a fully automated process. Commissioning is scheduled for the second quarter of 2022.

In May 1920, a long century ago in the shadows of Cleveland’s steel mills, two brilliant and visionary engineers founded The Ohio Crankshaft Company.

The Voyager HHT portable hand-held induction heating system is designed for use in tight spaces.

Primetals Technologies and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) will acquire ABP Induction Systems (ABP), a global manufacturer and servicer of induction furnaces and heating systems. ABP provides state-of-the-art equipment for ferrous and nonferrous metal casting, forging and steelmaking. Its main products are induction melting, holding and pouring furnaces as well as induction heaters. MHI and Primetals Technologies will jointly take ABP’s shares, and future business activities will be conducted in close cooperation with and under the leadership of Primetals Technologies.

Induction scanning machines for vertical part orientation come in a wide variety of length ranges and weight capacities. Generally speaking, induction scanning machines either move the part or move the induction coil. This applies to horizontal as well as vertical scanning operations. There are certainly pros and cons to each method. This article addresses some of the major differences.

Given that aluminum and its alloys offer numerous advantages over many other metals, it is not surprising that inquiries about induction billet-heating equipment increasingly involve the heating of aluminum alloys.

With a very short measuring wavelength of 525 nm, PSC-SSS-Laser-05M minimizes measuring errors due to emissivity uncertainty and at-mospheric changes.

As the critical component that translates reciprocating into rotational motion, the crankshaft is subjected to significant stresses and loads.
