 Abstract
 Induction hardening is a type of surface hardening in
which a metal part is induction-heated and
then quenched. The quenched metal undergoes
a martensitic transformation, increasing
the hardness and brittleness of the part. Induction
hardening is used to selectively harden areas of a part
or assembly without affecting the properties of the
part as a whole.

Introduction
 Induction heating is a non contact heating process which uses
the principle of electromagnetic induction to produce heat
inside the surface layer of a work-piece. By placing
a conductive material into a strong alternating magnetic field,
electric current can be made to flow in the material thereby
creating heat due to the I2R losses in the material. In magnetic
materials, further heat is generated below the curie point due
to hysteresis losses. The current generated flows predominantly
in the surface layer, the depth of this layer being dictated by the
frequency of the alternating field, the surface power density,
the permeability of the material, the heat time and the diameter
of the bar or material thickness. By quenching this heated layer
in water, oil, or a polymer based quench, the surface layer is
altered to form a martensitic structure which is harder than the
base metal.
Need of the project
 Hardening is a metallurgical metalworking process
used to increase the hardness of a metal. The hardness
of a metal is directly proportional to the uniaxial yield
stress at the location of the imposed strain. A harder
metal will have a higher resistance to plastic
deformation than a less hard metal.
