Offering ready-to-use tables, diagrams, graphs, and simplified formulas for at-a-glance guidance in induction heating system design, this book contains numerous photographs, magnetic field plots, temperature profiles, case studies, hands-on guidelines, and practical recommendations to navigate through various system designs and avoid surprises in installation, operation, and maintenance. It covers basic principles, modern design concepts, and advanced techniques engineers use to model and evaluate the different types of manufacturing processes based on heating by induction. The handbook explains the electromagnetic and heat transfer phenomena that take place during induction heating.

The second edition of the Handbook of Induction Heating reflects the number of substantial advances that have taken place over the last decade in theory, computer modeling, semi-conductor power supplies, and process technology of induction heating and induction heat treating. This edition continues to be a synthesis of information, discoveries, and technical insights that have been accumulated at Inductoheat Inc. With an emphasis on design and implementation, the newest edition of this seminal guide provides numerous case studies, ready-to-use tables, diagrams, rules-of-thumb, simplified formulas, and graphs for working professionals and students.

Offers a detailed study of the theory and technical application of induction heating, discussing systems, equipment, economics, safety and environmental conditions, and electroheating terminology.

Practical Induction Heat Treating, Second Edition is a quick reference source for induction heaters. This book ties-in the metallurgy, theory, and practice of induction heat treating from a hands-on explanation of what floor people need to know. This book includes practical tables and process analysis of induction heating.

This book offers a theoretical and practical treatment of both conduction and induction heating, comprising four parts: conduction theory, induction theory, heat flow, and practice.

What is heat treatment? This book describes heat treating technology in clear, concise, and nontheoretical language. It is an excellent introduction and guide for design and manufacturing engineers, technicians, students, and others who need to understand why heat treatment is specified and how different processes are used to obtain desired properties. The new Second Edition has been extensively updated and revised by Jon. L. Dossett, who has more than forty years of experience in theat treating operations and management. The update adds important information about new processes and process control techniques that have been developed or refined in recent years. Helpfull appendices have been added on decarburization of steels, boost/diffues cycles for carburizing, and process verification.
