A METHOD OF HEAT-TREATING AND HARDENING A STEEL PRODUCT SUCH AS A TOOTHED WHEEL AND SIMILAR STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS, REQUIRING A HARDNESS AND ABRASION RESISTANCE ON PORTIONS OF ITS WORKING SURFACES INCREASED IN COMPARISON TO THE HARDNESS AND ABRASION RESISTANCE OF THE REMAINING PORTIONS COMPRISING THE STEPS OF PROVIDING ON THE SURFACE OF SAID PRODUCT AT LEAST ONE GROOVE SEPARATING THE SAID SURFACES OF PORTIONS OF REQUIRED INCREASED HARDNESS FROM THE REMAINING SURFACES; LOCALLY HEAT-TREATING THE SAID PORTIONS OF THE SURFACES REQUIRING AN INCREASED HARDNESS AS THEY ARE DIVIDED BY SAID AT LEAST ONE GROOVE AND SUBSEQUENTLY HARDENING BY QUENCHING THE HEAT-TREATED PORTIONS LEAVING THE REMAINING PORTIONS WITH ITS ORIGINAL HARDNESS AND ABRASION RESISTANCE.
摘要:
An inductive heating assembly is provided comprising a support block having an upper and a lower supporting surface and a front wall. A plurality of inductor sectors each including a recess defined by an upper leg and a lower leg and a nose are mounted on the support block with the recesses receiving the block and with the legs overlapping the upper and lower surfaces, respectively, and the nose extending along the front wall. The nose is shaped to fit between adjacent gear teeth and means is provided for passing current in series through the legs and the nose of each sector.
