Abstract:
Described herein is a method of forming a heat-treated material includes positioning the heat-treated material between first and second susceptors. Each of the first and second susceptors includes a tool face shaped according to a desired shape of the heat-treated material. The method also includes applying a low-strength magnetic field to the first and second susceptors to heat the first and second susceptors. Further, the method includes compressing the heat-treated material between the first and second susceptors to form the heat-treated material into the desired shape. The method additionally includes applying a high-strength magnetic field to the heat-treated material before compressing the heat-treated material between the first and second susceptors.
