Wire & Cable
The energy cable has revolutionized various facets across multiple industries over the last couple of decades. Induction heating is used for entire tube annealing, hardening and tempering, etc.
The wire and cable industry are spread across the globe and used for every other application or product. It is an integral part of every industry and ever present in our daily lives. The tube and pipe industry are closely connected to other sectors and as the demand increases within these sectors, this industry had to adapt to meet the needs of these sectors.
Induction heating within this industry is being used in processes for induction welding, tube annealing, seam annealing, hardening, tempering and stress relieving. Induction heating is increasingly being used because of its high energy efficiency, ability of in-line production integration, precise temperature control and high dimensional accuracy.
Joining Processes
- Tube and profile continuous welding (Inductive and conductive)
- Tube and pipe brazing
Heat Treatment
- Hardening and tempering
- Entire tube annealing
- Seam annealing
- Bright annealing
- Stress relief
Pre and Post-Heating
- PWHT (Post Welding Heat Treatment)
- Preheating for welding, coating, drying and forging
Hardening is a process of heating followed by cooling generally fast for increase hardness and mechanical strength of steel. Induction hardening, using induction heating and quenching, provides an economical way to process shafts, gears, bearings, yokes, spindles, sprockets, wire, tube, pipe or other parts.
Tempering is a process able to decrease the hardness, strength and increases the toughness of hardened steels while removing the tensions created in the material, leaving the steel with the required hardness. A heating process that optimizes mechanical properties in workpieces that have already been hardened.
Brazing is a highly efficient way of joining dissimilar metal parts together. A filler material is applied and melted to form a fused piece. Filler materials come in many shapes and sizes. Induction brazing is ideal for high volume production due to its high efficiency and repeatability.
Induction annealing enables precise, fast and reliable control of metal material properties through recrystallization and controlled subsequent cooling. Induction annealing is mainly used for softening and stressrelieving of metals and offers enormous advantages over conventional methods.
Induction pre and post heating is a process where materials or workpieces are heated by induction in before or after further processing. For example, in the cable and wire industry, cable cores are preheated before insulation extrusion. Metal components and welds, for example, must often be post-heated to relieve internal.
