Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Conclusion

Induction surface and bulk-surface hardening of steel in accordance with optimal regimes and the proper selection of the steels ensures the high in-service properties of various heavily loaded machine components.

As a result, the induction hardening of steel is being carried out at the leading establishments of the truck, tractor, and machine-building industry, and is the basic method for the thermal hardening of components in many cases.

The potential of induction heat treatment, however, is yet to be exhausted.

Studies devoted to further expansion of the sphere in which this method is used, to the transfer of leading experience, and to raising the level of technology at all establishments utilizing induction heat treatment are critical and urgent.

The further development, refinement, and implementation of induction heat treatment in machine building and metallurgy is a critical problem of scientific and technical progress in our country.
