Zone Annealing with Induction Heating

Overview

Annealing is used to soften a section of the fastener, reducing brittleness

Benefits

• pinpoint accuracy
• cycle-after-cycle repeatability
• flameless process
• minimized surface oxidation or scaling by annealing at low temperature
• ability to direct heat into a very small area within precise production tolerances without disturbing individual metallurgical characteristics
