Induction hardeningFor more than 50 years, we have beenspecialising in the process of inductionhardening of steels and cast materials.This technology is convincing by its principlealone, as a locally limited change ofproperties can be achieved quickly, at afavourable price and with very highprecision compared with conventionalmethods. In induction surface hardening,the workpiece to be processed is heatedto a temperature above structural conversionby means of high-frequencyalternating current and then cooled downaccording to the TTT diagram. The requiredchange of property can be limitedprecisely to a certain part of the workpiece.The thermal or atmospheric loadon the environment is negligibly slight.After all, the heating time and the temperaturecan be controlled precisely.Induction hardening:We offer you precisionand documented quality.

This means an extraordinarily high reproducibilityof the required materialproperties.Thanks to the aforementioned features,the process can easily be integrated intoautomated production sequences.The advantages speak out for themselves:● easy on resources and environmentallybeneficial● quick and partial heating of the workpiece● low energy consumption● high throughputs● consistency of hardness pattern andhardness values● high reproducibility and automationcapability● low distortion and occurrence of scale● little space required● minimised investment necessarythanks to variants of equipment ofstandard and also special machinesoptimally coordinated with oneanother.Quality:This is what we see asthe sum total of technologyand experience.

Fields of activityOur business activity is based on 4 fieldsof activity:1. analysis, application and processdevelopment2. equipment manufacturing3. sub-contract heat treat shops.4. inductor manufacturingFrom analysis to process developmentThe decision to procure an inductionequipment is normally preceded by ananalysis of the customer-specific requirements.We make this analysis in our owntesting and measurement laboratories.All metallographic and thermal examinationscan be held and documented here.The hardening accessories, which arespecifically adapted to the customers’requirements, are then planned and designedin the HWG engineering department.In the end, the result is a detailedprocess documentation based on prototypesand job lots.Equipment manufacturingOur standard machines are not onlyergonomically designed, they are aboveall designed by practicians for practicians.From the outset, top priority was givenProcess development:Competent employeesuse ultra-modern meansof production and measurementin order to dojustice to your individualrequirements.

StandardsAs regards design and engineering, wehave our own ideas. Engineering is notgood just because it is new. But newengineering is good and is only good if itcontributes to increasing the overall outputof a machine – naturally also takingeconomic and ecological aspects intoaccount. And the same applies for us todesign. Here too, we primarily think inthe category of the possible benefit forcustomers.One example is our new, modular standardequipment concept, INDUCTO-SCAN. Innovative functions and improvedergonomics led us to create a newdesign.The new standard which we are settingin this way is for your benefit:● extremely short retooling times thanksto plug-and-play technology● improved accessibility and matchingassistance● high flexibility thanks to the modularfeature of various work modules.And all the new working modules canalso be used in the INDUCTOSCANpowerseries. Quick processing thanksto simple operating. And finally: minimisedcosts thanks to optimally matchedequipment variants.Setting standards infunction and design:This also makes aninvestment visuallyattractive.Automatic invertermatching assistance:Retooling turns intochild’s play.

One company –one group of companies –one corporate groupGlobal thinking is a must nowadays, sois local action. To be able to do both, theGerman HWG INDUCTOHEAT is part ofthe world-wide INDUCTOHEAT Group.All the companies in the group have recourseto central services – e.g. researchand development – of the INDUCTO-THERM Group. In this way, we haveexperience which a single company cannever develop.
