Brazing is a process of joining two or more metal parts by using a melted filler material commonly referred to as brazing alloy.

Omer Haimbaugh started Induction Heat Treating Corp. (IHT) in 1946 in Chicago with an induction heater he used to braze bread pans. Today, over 70 years later, the company has more than 20 induction heaters and 60 employees.

Corr-Paint CP4050 is a high-temperature, green-pigmented coating that provides corrosion and oxidation protection and color identification for induction heaters and heat exchangers used in demanding industrial applications at temperatures up to 1100°F (593°C).

In our industry, many resources are available to find information on a variety of technologies. IHEA is one of those resources, and this induction article was graciously contributed by them.

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.

Fives received an order from Baosteel, the largest automotive steel producer in China, to supply the complete thermal portion for a continuous annealing line (CAL) with a production capacity of 630,000 tons per year. The CAL, which aims to produce both standard steel grades and advanced high-strength steels, includes a Stein Digiflex furnace and Celes induction heaters. The first coil is scheduled to be produced by the end of 2021.

Dr. Valery Rudnev presented the 77^th Woodside Lecture May 13 in Livonia, Mich. His presentation focused on recent theoretical and practical novelties in induction heat treatment. Common mispostulations associated with induction heating and frequently overlooked metallurgical subtleties were also discussed.

The Cenos platform enables computer-aided engineering for smaller companies focused on induction heating and hardening technologies.

An induction process consists of an induction power supply that passes a high-frequency alternating current (AC) through an inductor.
