Abstract

The computer simulation of the process of induction surface hardening based on the example of cutter knife hardening is presented. For the two-dimensional (2-D) arrangement, the total system containing inductor, moving charge, cooling system, and energy source as a series bridge transistor inverter has been simulated. The source parameters (voltage and frequency) depend on the load parameters obtained by numerical calculations of the coupled fields. For the 3-D model, the influence of the inductor-charge arrangement on the temperature distribution near the charge edge has been estimated.
