先进的感应热处理技术和设计方法

Advanced Induction Heat Treatment Technologies and Design Methods

概述了用于热处理和表面处理的先进的感应技术以及现代设计方法,尤其是不同金属的感应化学热处理和同步双频淬火等最新技术。论文素材源自有关文献资料和作为Fluxtrol公司研究中心主任的作者的第一手经验。先进的设计方法采用了应用计算机模拟和计算机辅助技术,利用现代软件使感应系统的初步设计及其优化和性能预测成为可能。所制订的解决方案和用来确认被处理材料效果的试样的制备均需通过试验进行验证。感应工艺和工具(感应器、淬火环等)广泛采用模拟技术设计和制作,由于精度高,接近于实际的工艺和设备,可被称作"虚拟试制"。要特别关注感应系统中能改进系统参数、节能和提高热处理质量的磁通量控制。

This paper presents an overview of advanced induction technologies in heat treating and surface treatment as well as modern methods of design. Special attention is devoted to the newest technologies such as induction thermo-chemical treatment of different metals,simultaneous dual frequency hardening,etc. The material of the paper is based on the analysis of literature and first hand experience of the author as Director of Research at Fluxtrol Inc. Advanced design methods use computer simulation and computer-assisted engineering. Using modern software it is possible to make a preliminary design of an induction system,its optimization and prediction of the performance. Experiments may be required for verification of developed solutions and preparation of samples for validation of the treated material response. Design and engineering of the induction process and tools （inductors,quenching rings etc.） with extensive use of simulation may be called ＂virtual prototyping＂ due to high accuracy and good adequacy to real processes and equipment. Special attention is paid to magnetic flux control in an induction system that provides the system parameters improvement,energy saving and better quality of treatment.
