Induction forging

Bring metal parts to forging temperature quickly, uniformly, and energy-efficiently using controlled induction heating.
RF HEATING CONSULT

Fast and reproducible heating

Do you want to bring metal parts to forging temperature quickly, evenly, and energy-efficiently?

With induction forging, bars, billets, and other metal workpieces are heated quickly and in a controlled manner to the correct forging temperature.

Thanks to precise temperature control and uniform heat distribution, high product quality, excellent reproducibility, and minimal material losses are achieved.

Induction heating heats the material in a targeted and efficient manner. This makes the process more controllable than traditional gas or furnace heating. This results in lower energy costs, shorter cycle times, and a reliable forging process.

Advantages

Why induction forging?

Fast and localized

Only the desired area is heated. As a result, heat input remains limited and distortion is minimized.

Reproducible quality

With pyrometer control, the soldering temperature can be accurately monitored and automatically controlled.

Automatable process

Induction forging is suitable for manual workstations, semi-automatic machines, and serial production

Key benefits

  • Specialist in induction heating since 2006
  • In-house laboratory for process testing
  • Practical engineering and customization
  • Independent advice
  • Guidance from concept to production
  • Service and technical support

From test to production

RF Heating Consult assists with the selection of frequency, power, coil shape, soldering material, flux, shielding gas, and temperature control. The process can first be practically tested in the laboratory before a production system is specified.
