Home How It's Used Hot Forming * How It's Used ## Induction Benefits * Meets tight production tolerances with precise localized heat to small areas creating pinpoint accuracy * Increases production rates with faster heating cycles * Reduces defect rates with repeatable, reliable heat * Eliminates variability from operator-to-operator, shift-to-shift * Maintains metallurgical characteristics of the individual metals Here are the advantages of hot forming with induction heating: * springback effect is eliminated * ductility is improved * low pressure & minimal residual part stress * better grain flow & microstructure * improved mechanical properties * reduced need for post production tempering & heat treating * improved production rates with minimal defects Induction heating in hot forming is applied for several different purposes: Heading - forming a head on blot, screw or rivet Blanking - cutting a whole piece from sheet metal Punching - cutting a hole Slotting - cutting of elongated holes Perforating - cutting a group of holes Trimming - cutting away excess metal Shearing - cutting in straight line across piece Bending - producing single, double, straight flange, edge hem, curl or double hem bends In order for the hot forming process to succeed, an application should be tested including the following variables. Ambrell's experienced applications engineers will provide you with the necessary advice and recommendation.
