Precision induction heating for tool steels

The benefits of treating steel tools
Heat treating tool steels facilitates easier machining, and further develops their characteristic properties. Each step of the induction heating process alters the alloy distribution and transforms the soft matrix into a hard matrix capable of withstanding the pressure, abrasion and impacts inherent in metal forming. Heat treating processes commonly used when working with tool steels include:
• Annealing – Softens the tool steel for working, by heating to the hardening temperature and cooling slowly.
• Tempering – Reheating the hardened tool steel to the proper temperature in order to relieve stress induced in the hardening process, removing some of the hardness in exchange for toughness.
