AIChE Smart Stack Damper Design Provides Better Control of Fired HeatersAshutosh Garg
Stack dampers are one of the insignificant yet important component of fired heaters in the refining industry. Over 90% of the heaters in the USA are natural draft and are dependent upon the draft for efficient combustion of fuel gas with air. Stack dampers currently installed are highly oversized and are not able to control draft effectively. Furnace Improvements patent pending design overcomes these limitations and improves the damper control significantly by installing multiple actuators and changing the control characteristics of the dampers.

Hot Hydroforging of Lightweight Bilateral Gears and Hollow ProductsFluxtrol Inc.
Feasibility of making lightweight powertrain products with hot hydroforging of steel/low density material hybrid billets is explored. A bimaterial billet is designed such that a steel wall encloses a low density core 100%. Furthermore the low density core is selected among the materials that have lower melting or softening temperature than steel such as aluminum and glass. In hot hydroforging the bimaterial billet is heated to 1000-1200 C range similar to the conventional hot forging of steel. However, in hot hydroforging the core is in liquid or viscous state while steel shell is in solid state similar to the conventional hydroforming. During hot hydroforging the viscous/liquid core has negligible resistance to flow thereby providing a uniform hydrostatic pressure inside the steel and enabling a uniform deformation of the solid steel wall.

Robert Goldstein Fluxtrol Inc., Auburn Hills, MI, USA

Lynn Ferguson DANTE Solutions Inc., Cleveland, OH, USA
ABSTRACT:
In this paper, the concept studied is hot forged from a bimetal
billet, which is a steel tube press fit with a solid aluminum
core and welded shut with steel end caps. For the experimental
part of the studies Al 7075 was selected as the core material
due to its high strength to weight ratio and 1020 steel was
selected because of its availability as a tube. Induction heating
was selected as the heating method for bimetal forging. This
is due to the ability of induction heating to rapidly heat the
steel layer. Successful bimetal forging of a closed vessel
requires the steel layer to be in the austenite phase prior to the
aluminum reaching high temperatures to prevent
compromising the weld seams. Modeling of the induction
heating process is complex due to the dimensional movement
of components during the process. A method was developed
to accurately model the induction heating process and predict
power requirements. The method will be described and the
results of the models will be compared to experimental
findings. The forming process will be discussed in another
paper at the conference. The simulation presented is for solid
state forging of a steel aluminum billet, but the method for
modeling the process is the same for hot hydroforging or other
material combinations.
Optimization Potential of Induction Heating Systems by Stefan Schubotz and Ha...Fluxtrol Inc.
As published in Heat Processing (March 2015).
Depending on workpiece and process parameters, induction heating of components requires a certain amount of power. By simulation, experiments and experience, this needed energy can be well anticipated and enables the dimensioning of the converter. Basically, cost of the converter increases with rising provided power. Due to increasing energy expenses, efficiency of the system plays an important role. In this article, the influences of different process parameters on the efficiency of an example are investigated and valuable potential for improvement is demonstrated, so that the heating process is implemented with minimum converter power.

Torsional Fatigue Performance of Induction Hardened 1045 and 10V45 SteelsFluxtrol Inc.
Microalloying of medium carbon bar steels is a common
practice for a number of traditional components; however, use
of vanadium microalloyed steels is expanding into
applications beyond their original designed use as controlled
cooled forged and hot rolled products and into heat treated
components. As a result, there is uncertainty regarding the
influence of vanadium on the properties of heat treated
components, specifically the effect of rapid heat treating such
as induction hardening. In the current study, the torsional
fatigue behavior of hot rolled and scan induction hardened
1045 and 10V45 bars are examined and evaluated at effective
case depths of 25, 32, and 44% of the radius. Torsional fatigue
tests were conducted at a stress ratio of 0.1 and shear stress
amplitudes of 550, 600, and 650 MPa. Cycles to failure are
compared to an empirical model, which accounts for case
depth as well as carbon content.
Fluxtrol's "Best Practice for Design and Manufacturing of Heat Treating Induc...Fluxtrol Inc.
With the use of good design practices, one can improve coil longevity and improve production quality. By eliminating failure points in the initial design, proper material selection, improved cooling and proper magnetic flux control, induction tooling life can be increased. Computer simulation has been proven to be an effective tool for predicting not only electromagnetic parameters of a designed system, but also heat patterns in a given part and in the induction coil itself. When a coil has magnetic flux controllers present, their influence may also be predicted by computer simulation. With an extensive library of published case studies in induction coil design and performance evaluations, we are confident with the use of these tools and proper coil geometries and implementation, production life and quality can be improved on most induction heat treating inductors. These design practices have been used by the authors for over 20 years with proven results. A case is examined of a CVJ stem hardening coil, in which the principles discussed can be applied to most other hardening coils.
Hot Hydroforging for Lightweighting Presentation IDE 2015 Fluxtrol Inc.
Bimaterial products can be hot forged from a bimaterial billet where the steel shell encloses the lightweight core fully. A bimaterial billet can be forged in solid state however a better forging quality can be achieved if the core material is viscous thereby providing uniform hydrostatic pressure to steel shell during forging similar to a hydroforming process. However, the similarity only pertains to the hydrostatic pressure developed inside the deforming billet not to the process temperatures. While hydroforming is done at room temperatures the hot hydroforging is done at temperatures greater than 1000C enabling deformation of steel into intricate topologies without a fracture. Other differences between the hydroforming and hot hydroforging are that the amount of fluid is constant in hot hydroforging and the fluid may solidify and become an integral part of the product after forging and cooling. The lightweight core material will need to have a lower melting or softening temperature than the steel for Hot Hydroforging. Aluminum, magnesium, and glass are such candidate lightweight materials.
Magnetic FLux Control in Induction Systems - Fluxtrol Heat Processing Paper Fluxtrol Inc.
By Dr. Valentin Nemkov - Fluxtrol Inc.
Magnetic flux controllers are widely used in induction heating systems for concentration, shielding or redistribution of
the magnetic field which generates power in the part to be heated. Controllers, made of Soft Magnetic Composites
(SMC), provide accurate heat pattern control, improve parameters of inductors and performance of the entire installation.
In melting systems, especially in the case of vacuum furnaces, cold crucible and other specialty furnaces, the magnetic
control can provide large energy savings, magnetic field shielding, shorter melting cycles and optimized field distribution
for enhancement of the metallurgical processes. Due to the diversity of applications, service conditions of controllers
are very different including very severe cases. Mechanical, magnetic, electrical, thermal and other properties must be
considered in design and application of SMC. This article describes properties and performance of SMC typically used
in induction heating technology. Several presented case stories are based on more than 20 years of R&D and practical
experience of scientists and practitioners at Fluxtrol, Inc. Presented material may be interesting not only for induction
heating community but also for all people using AC magnetic fields in technological processes.

Magnetic Flux Controllers in Induction Heating and Melting by Robert Goldstei...Fluxtrol Inc.
MAGNETIC FLUX CONTROLLERS are
materials other than the copper coil that are used
in induction systems to alter the flow of the magnetic
field. Magnetic flux controllers used in
power supplying components are not considered
in this article.
Magnetic flux controllers have been in existence
since the development of the induction
technique. Michael Faraday used two coils of
wire wrapped around an iron core in his experiments
that led to Faraday’s lawof electromagnetic
induction, which states that the electromotive
force (emf) induced in a circuit is directly proportional
to the time rate of change of the magnetic
flux through the circuit. After the development
of the induction principle, magnetic flux controllers,
in the form of stacks of laminated steel, found
widespread use in the development of transformers
for more efficient transmission of energy
(Ref 1, 2).
Magnetic cores gained widespread use in the
transformer industry because they increased
the amount of magnetic flux produced with
the same alternating current. The higher the
magnetic flux, the higher the emf, which results
in an increase in energy transfer efficiency from
the primary winding to the secondary winding.
Similar to transformers, magnetic cores were
used on early furnaces for induction melting
(Ref 1, 2). The benefits of magnetic flux controllers
vary depending on the application. For
induction heating, magnetic flux controllers can
provide favorable and unfavorable paths for magnetic
flux to flow, resulting in increased heating in
desired areas and reduced the heating in undesirable
areas, respectively.Magnetic flux controllers
are not used in every induction heating application,
but their use has increased (Ref 3, 4).

Design and Fabrication of Inductors for Induction Heat TreatingFluxtrol Inc.
FOR INDUCTION MELTING AND MASS HEATING, the early induction heating coils
were manufactured from copper tubing wrapped in multiple turns around a mandrel. The first induction heat treating coils were developed for
crankshaft hardening in the 1930s (Fig. 1, 2) (Ref 1–4). Unlike the melting and mass heating
coils, the heat treating induction coils were machined. These inductors consisted of two
parts with a hinge on one side that would open and shut around the crankshaft journal. Quench holes were drilled on the inner diameter of the induction coil to deliver quench to the part afterheating. This pioneering development was the culmination of many years of hard work by a large team and clearly demonstrated the different requirements for induction heat treating as compared to melting and mass heating.

Increasing Inductor Lifetime by Predicting Coil Copper Temperatures PaperFluxtrol Inc.
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the customer demands for improved induction coil lifetime. This has led to several publications in recent years by induction tooling manufacturers [1-4]. The main conclusion in these papers is that besides mechanical crashes the cause of most induction coil failures is localized overheating of the coil copper due to insufficient cooling.
What is lacking from these publications is any way to determine what is sufficient cooling. In this paper, a scientific method for determining local copper temperatures will be presented. This will include evaluations of heat transfer coefficients for different sections of a multi-component inductor, dependence of heat transfer coefficient on water pressure and water passage cross-section, non-uniform power density distributions in various 2-D cross-sections and the resulting temperature distribution in the copper winding. The effects of duty cycle on optimal design will also be considered.

In induction hardening, thermal fatigue is one of the main failure modes of induction heating coils. There have been papers published that describe this failure mode and others that describe some good design practices [1-3]. The variables previously identified as the sources of thermal fatigue include radiation from the part surface, frequency, current, concentrator losses, water pressure and coil wall thickness. However, there is very little quantitative data on the factors that influence thermal fatigue in induction coils available in the public domain. By using finite element analysis software this study analyzes the effect of common design variables of inductor cooling, and quantifies the relative importance of these variables. A comprehensive case study for a single shot induction coil with Fluxtrol A concentrator applied is used for the analysis.
