Abstract
This paper will address practical aspects of developing induction heat treatment processes – induction hardening processes in particular. Examples will be presented to illustrate methods of improving inductor and process designs utilizing computer simulation. A number of everyday challenges encountered by heat treatment practitioners will be addressed, specifically challenges related to metallurgical and mechanical quality. The value of utilizing computer simulation will be demonstrated in these real-world solutions through the revelation of subtle facets of induction heat treatment that cannot otherwise be physically observed or measured.
