Development of Energy Saving Technologies for Steel Wire Heat Treatment

Abstract:

This article presents the development of energy-saving induction heating technology to accelerate significantly the process of heat treatment of steel wire. The analysis of international trends and prospects of the use of induction heating shows a steady expansion of the applied induction technologies in metallurgy. The article considers the advantages of induction heating in comparison with other competitive technologies. Heat treatment in electro-technical induction units is determined by the interrelated electrical and thermal processes in them, the complex nature of the distribution of internal heat sources, the dependence of the nature of the power distribution of the induction unit on the temperature of the products processed. The features of the applicated in the induction method of heating in the hardware industry for objects previously unused: such as coils of wire and riots of calibrated steel. The results of the study show the influence of the induction method of heating on temperature-time factors to the formation of the structure, to increase the uniformity of heating and the quality of heat treatment of steel wire, calibrated steel in riots, taking into account the technological problem. The authors give the assessment of the effectiveness of medium and high-frequency induction heating of steel wire of various diameters. The evaluation of the increase in the efficiency of an induction heating unit with the simultaneous heat treatment of several filaments of steel wire of the same diameter, combined into a bundle, was made.
