The method of induction heating can be successfully used for melting and heat treatment of titanium and zirconium alloys. Different applications using induction precise heating before plastic deformation are discussed in this paper. For alloys of many metals such as titanium, zirconium, niobium, tantalum, etc., it is important to provide precision heating with a high degree of homogeneity of the temperature field and strict adherence to the condition of heating. This is explained by polymorphism of the alloys based on these metals, their chemical activity at high temperatures and the specific thermal and electrical properties. It is very important for induction heating to define the extreme achievable unevenness of the temperature field. For special alloys it is necessary to use resistance furnaces for homogenization of billets’ temperature after heating in the inductors. Optimal control can be used for massive billets to reduce significantly the heating time, energy expenses and to improve the quality of the temperature field distribution. Optimization of induction heating process can be achieved by synchronous solution of the problem of optimal control and design with specially developed models.展开更多

Control of the induction heating temperature to an appropriate value is a key consideration in induction heating technology. To obtain acculturated temperatures, investigations were focused on the parameters of an induction heating system, including those of induction heating equipment and heating processes. In these investigations, computer simulation was used to model the induction heating process, followed by physical experimentation to verify and improve the simulation model; finally, optimized induction heating parameters were suggested. The use of computer simulations dramatically decreased physical experimental times, and the computed heating parameters were used to guide the physical experimentation and design of the product line ; this increased the efficiency of subsequent investigations. This study focuses on the development of induction heating technology in Baosteel, which includes the overall induction heating technology used in manufacturing backup rollers and in the thermomechanical control process.展开更多
