Projects
- AFRC_CORD_06093_Bifrangi Simulation of Induction heating / hardening process
- Andreu, Aurik (Principal Investigator) Huang, Jianglin (Co-investigator)
- This project will focus on the simulation of the induction heating / hardening process by applying the knowledge and expertise developed in previous CORD projects sponsored by BIFRANGI (CORD 1137, CORD 1444 and CORD 1844 projects) on induction heating modelling and temperature measurement improvement.
In previous projects, the standard and best practice on modelling of induction heating process has been established and the induction heating process model has been verified using lab-scale induction heating trials without billet movement. In this year’s CORD 1844 project, a 3D FEM model has been developed in DEFORM and used to investigate the effect of billet shape, size and offset in BIFRANGI’s induction heating line. An attempt has been made to scale up a 3D FEM model with moving billets to simulate the full BIFRANGI induction heating line with a length of 18 meters using 3 coils and cyclic operation. However, due to some technical issues (difficulty to simulate the full billet and line length, current measurement of the induction heating line (still planned for this year), and internal temperature data), there is still limited experimental data for process model verification.
We propose to apply the developed induction heating process model for simulating induction heating / hardening process carried out at BIFRANGI. By simulating the induction hardening process and comparing the simulation results with experimental results from induction hardened samples, the developed induction heating process model can be further improved and verified. The improved maturity of modelling capabilities of the induction heating process will provide value information for industrial process design and optimisation.
Additionally, following discussions with the Transvalor team and Bifrangi, it was decided to that we will also try out the Transvalor software suite Forge / Simheat to model this induction heating / hardening process. This will include an advanced training on Forge in relation to the induction heating / hardening modelling. This will allow us to compare simulation results with experimental trials and make sure both models in DEFORM and Transvalor are reliable and assess each set of software capabilities related to the induction heating/hardening process. - 01-Jan-2022 - 01-Jan-2023
- AFRC_CORD_1844_BIFRANGI - INDUSTRIAL INDUCTION HEATING SIMULATION – YEAR 3
- Andreu, Aurik (Principal Investigator) Huang, Jianglin (Co-investigator)
- This project is a continuation of AFRC CORD 1137 and CORD 1444 projects on induction heating modelling and temperature measurement improvement sponsored by BIFRANGI.
Important progress has been made over the last year in term of modelling in both 2D/3D FEM (Finite Element Method) / BEM (Boundary Element Method). Although a good agreement between the 2D FEM simulation results with laboratory trial results has been reached, several issues were encountered with the DEFORM software as well as significant inconsistencies in the simulation results, especially in the 3D FEM model, which is required to investigate the billet offset effect in BIFRANGI’s induction heating line. Moreover, limited experimental trials were carried out due to the COVID 19 situation.
The above-mentioned technical issues in induction heating modelling were reported to WILDE and the developers and it is hoped they will be resolved in a future software update. At the same time, we are planning to resolve the issues and verify the reliability of the induction heating simulation using an alternative software: SIMUFACT / MARC (Tier 2 members). This will allow the comparison of simulation results obtained with the two software packages and experimental data, especially on 3D FEM modelling.
Additionally to the modelling work, we would like to work on the development of an inline scale removal system (with an external partner) and implementation in the actual induction heating line at BIFRANGI site. This should allow to obtain more accurate in process temperature measurement with pyrometer / Thermal camera, which will provide valuable information for industrial process model validation. - 21-Jan-2021 - 30-Jan-2023

- Induction heating (IH) is used in many applications such as: surface hardening, pre-heating for forging/forming, assembly processes, metal/alloy fusion, etc. The primary attraction of this technology is that it offers relatively fast heating rates and due to its direct nature there is little loss of energy in raising the temperature of refractories or other extraneous objects. Thus, if it is applicable it represents an extremely cost effective method of heating. Moreover, advances in key technologies, i.e. power electronics, control techniques, and magnetic component design, have allowed the development of highly reliable and cost-effective systems, making this technology readily available and ubiquitous.
Although IH systems have reached certain maturity, there are still some issues to address to further increase its performance and a number of challenges, notably in its application to non-axisymmetric geometries and it controlling the temperature gradient in the workpiece.
This proposal focuses on examining the capability of commercial software to simulate this process and then developing a validated model. A proposed secondary area for research is the measurement of temperature during IH, particularly on scaled surfaces to deliver improved yield and reduced wastage.
The AFRC’s proposed approach to this project is described below in a series of individual work packages. Depending on member agreement the AFRC may seek an industrial IH supplier to partner on this project – examples might include Ajax Tocco, Inductelec (Sheffield), or Inductotherm (Cheltenham). For coil design the AFRC already has contacts with Induction Coil Solutions with whom it has worked in the past.
It is recognised that elements of this project may require the AFRC project team to liaise with colleagues in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department for support in carrying out measurements during trials and for possible simulation of circuit dynamics. - 11-Jan-2018 - 31-Jan-2019
