Practical Induction Heat Treating

Taking a fundamentals approach, this course is presented as an introduction to the world of induction heat treating. The course will cover the role of induction heating in producing reliable products, as well as the considerable savings in energy, labor, space, and time it has. You will learn in-depth on topics such as selecting equipment, designs of multiple systems, current application, and sources and solutions of induction heat treating problems.

To assist with your overall understanding of the material, examples will be provided throughout the course. The final lesson will be all about the important questions of system maintenance.

Practical Induction Heat Treating is included as a PDF when taking this course.
