Induction annealing and normalising
Induction annealing and normalizing is widely used in the tube and pipe industry and is ideal for virtually any annealing task.
What is induction annealing?
Induction annealing heats metals that have already undergone significant processing. It reduces hardness, improves ductility and relieves internal stresses. Full-body annealing is a process where the complete workpiece is annealed. With seam annealing (more accurately known as seam normalising), only the heat-affected zone produced by the welding process is treated.
What are the benefits
Induction annealing and normalizing delivers:
- Fast, reliable, and localised heat
- Precise temperature control
- Easy in-line integration
Induction treats individual workpieces to exact specifications, with control systems continuously monitoring and recording the entire process.
Where is it used
Induction annealing and normalizing is widely used in
the tube and pipe industry. It also anneals wire, steel
strips, knife blades and copper tubing. In fact,
induction is ideal for virtually any annealing task.
What equipment is available?
Each ENRX annealing system is built to satisfy specific requirements. At the heart of each system is an ENRX Sinac generator that features automatic load matching and a constant power factor at all power levels. Most of our delivered systems also feature custom-built handling and control solutions.
