摘要： Method and apparatus for inductively heating and quench hardening axially spaced cams on a steel camshaft having a longitudinally extending rotational axis concentric with a plurality of axially spaced bearings, which method and apparatus utilizes an induction heating coil having an inner surface surrounding the rotational axis of the camshaft with an insulating gap and integral quench openings for directing quenching liquid inwardly from the heating coil for the workpiece, and a high frequency power supply for selectively energizing the heating coil with a power density within the heating coil of about 20KW/in.sup.2 and an auxiliary cooling assembly fixed with respect to the heating coil and including an arrangement for spraying a cooling liquid toward the camshaft. In accordance with the method and apparatus, a camshaft is indexed axially through the opening of the coil and cooling assembly to a first position with a cam within the coil, at which position the camshaft is indexed to have the lobe of the cam facing the gap in the induction heating coil and a hardening cycle is then employed including induction heating of the surface of the camshaft while the cam is stationary and then quench hardening by directing a quenching fluid through the induction heating coil toward the previously heated cam surface. After this heating cycle, the camshaft is then moved until the next cam is within the heating coil and the previously hardened cam is in the cooling assembly. Thereafter, another hardening cycle occurs. This process is repeated until all cams have been hardened.

摘要： A method and apparatus for heat treating camshafts includes a retractable shield positioned between a previously hardened surface and a surface being heat treated. During the induction heating and quenching cycle, a coolant is delivered to the hardened surface to maintain the temperature thereof below the tempering temperature. The shield prevents the coolant from contacting the unhardened surface and interfering with the heating and quenching thereof.

摘要： A method of monitoring a heating cycle of an induction heating system wherein an inductor encircles a metal workpiece and an alternating current is applied through the inductor from a power supply during the heating cycle. This method comprising the steps of generating an analog signal representative of the voltage across the inductor, as the voltage varies during the heating cycle by changes in the electromagnetic characteristics of the workpiece as the workpiece is being heated; digitizing the voltage representative analog signal; creating a trace of the digitized voltage representative analog signal, with the trace being indicative of the electromagnetic characteristic of the workpiece as sensed by the inductor voltage during the heating cycle; and, comparing the created trace with a preselected pattern. This method can be performed with the workpiece moving through the inductor during said heating cycle and when the heating cycle includes a number of sub-cycles when the power supply is energizing the inductor separated by periods when the power supply is not energizing the inductor.

摘要： Method and apparatus for hardening the outwardly facing teeth surfaces of a gear is disclosed. First and second induction heating coils with power sources controlled by an appropriate microprocessor preheat the gear when in the first coil at precisely controlled cycles to generate an unstable circular band of high temperature positioned radially inwardly from the tips of the gear. Before the band can dissipate, the microprocessor actuates an appropriate drive to locate the gear in the second coil energized by an appropriate power source to impart a high skin temperature to the teeth. A liquid spray quench in the second coil is immediately actuated to effectively quench the gear. By sizing the cycles, the gear teeth are rapidly hardened at minimal power levels.

摘要： A method of hardening the radially, outwardly facing surfaces of a generally circular, toothed workpiece adapted to rotate about a central axis generally concentric with the outwardly facing surfaces whereby the extremities of the surfaces define an outer circle by the tips of the teeth of the workpiece. This type of workpiece is generally a gear. The method comprises the steps of providing first and second induction heating coils, locating the workpiece concentric in the first induction heating coil, energizing the first induction heating coil with a first alternating frequency current for a first time period, deenergizing the first coil with the workpiece therein for a first time delay period, again energizing this first induction heating coil with a second alternating frequency current for a second time period substantially less than the first time period, immediately transferring the workpiece concentrically into the second induction heating coil in a second delay time, then energizing the second induction heating coil with a radio frequency current for a third time period and immediately quenching the outer surfaces by quenching liquid sprayed against the surfaces while the workpiece is in the second induction heating coil. This process can be employed for hardening various convoluted surfaces where the area to be hardened, compared to the mass adjacent thereto, is substantially less than the area compared to adjacent mass at the protruding convolution, i.e. generally gear teeth.

摘要： A method and apparatus for induction heating and quench hardening of an undulating cylindrical surface, such as that defined by gear or sprocket teeth, provide a hardness pattern uniformly distributed to a controlled depth across and between the teeth surfaces by means of axial scanning of the workpiece relative to a single induction heating coil. A distinct final heating scanning process follows a preheating scanning process whereby preheating and final heating can be conducted at differing controlled axial velocities. Axial scanning of the workpiece repeatedly past a single inductor coil enables preheating and final heating of workpieces which cannot be axially shifted directly between separate inductor coils, such as internal planetary ring gears having a closed end or external gears having a flange or shoulder protruding radially from the cylindrical gear teeth surface.
