Induction Heating in Automotive & Transportation Industries

automotive induction heating

Induction heating has been widely used by the Automotive and Transportation industries for many decades. Its adaptability to high volume and fully automated production makes the induction heating equipment the preferred choice for a variety of manufacturing processes. Automotive manufacturers and their parts suppliers are using the induction heating for heat-treating, annealing of parts before bending or forming, automated heat staking or soldering, curing of adhesives, and bonding.

Ultraflex also provides induction melting and casting equipment, used by foundries for producing precision casted engine blocks and automotive parts.

The growing Electric car industry is using induction heating for many processes such as heat expansion for shrink fitting and mounting of electric motors and stators.

How Induction Heating is used in Automotive and Transportation?

  • Induction surface hardening of camshafts and gears
  • Heat treating, trough hardening or annealing of engine parts
  • Heat staking of hardware for automobile dashboards
  • Automated soldering of wire harnesses and wire terminals
  • Curing of adhesives and bonding of metal to plastic or windshields
  • Shrink fitting of electric motor housings and mounting of stators
  • Induction curing of special coatings and adhesives
  • Preheating of press molds and tools before stamping of auto parts
  • Heat expansion by induction for mounting and dismounting of train wheels
  • Pre-heating of railroad rails for heat expansion before permanent mounting
