Induction heat treatment is a widely used method for altering the mechanical properties of various materials, such as metals and alloys. Accurate temperature control is crucial in induction heat treatment to achieve the desired material properties.
Unlike conventional heating methods, induction heat treatment relies on electromagnetic induction to generate heat directly within the material, allowing for precise and localised heating without the need for direct contact or open flames. This non-contact heating method enables rapid and uniform heating, reducing processing time and minimizing distortion or damage to the surrounding areas.
A thermal imager using a 3.9µm waveband will be unaffected by smoke or particulates in high-temperature processes is ideal for this application.
