Technical article by EMA Indutec + AICHELIN in 'The Monty'
Dr. Andreas Klassen, Head of Research & Development at EMA Indutec, is a proven expert in numerical calculations and the simulation of induction processes. Together with Florian Kickinger, process engineer at AICHELIN Neuanlagenbau, he used the example of a large gear component to compare how induction heating with subsequent quenching differs from conventional heat treatment.
“Induction hardening vs. conventional heat treatment using the example of a large gear component”
In the specialist article published in “The Monty Heat Treat News”, our experts address these topics, among others:
- the physical principle of inductive heating
- the heating of the component close to the edge layer as required and
- the total energy required for heating – keyword: energy efficiency.
The compared processes also differ in terms of energy and process-related emissions – keyword: CO2 reduction.

The decisive factor when choosing a heat treatment process is that the component and the requirements placed on it are decisive for the appropriate heat treatment concept. In addition to the process-related costs, environmental aspects and tax incentives must also be taken into account.
