Aerospace & Aviation Industry Induction Heating

How is induction used in the aerospace industry?

Induction heating has predominantly replaced torch brazing and ovens for heat treating applications, especially in the aerospace and aviation industry, for instance, in producing titanium, Inconel, and waspaloy fasteners used in aircraft wings. Induction heating applications in the aerospace industry include:

Why Induction Technology Solutions?

We will gladly work with you to prepare for Boeing audits for aerospace and aviation industry induction heating. Our systems measure the temperature of the wire, verifying that the part has reached the target temperature, using dual-color optical pyrometers. The induction power supply’s settings (power, temperature) are stored in our data logger and can be recalled by work order and downloaded as a .csv or, using our proprietary software, you can see the data graphically. Verified, repeatable, logged results, every time.

Thermal Profile Management and Monitoring

  • Up to 20 Programmable Temperature and Time Segments per Process
  • Up to 100 different storable processes
  • Maximum Power Output Programmable for Each Individual Segment
  • Temperature Tolerance Window Programmable for Each Individual Segment
  • Out-of Tolerance and End-of-Cycle Outputs for Each Process

Thanks to the Thermal Profile Monitoring software, coupled with the new SH15/SLE Optical Pyrometers, the user is now able to set specific temperature profiles, and monitor and certify the heating process of each production item.

Integrated Web Server and Data Log System

  • Integrated Webserver with 2-port 100base-T Ethernet switch
  • No client software is required, only a web browser
  • Zero configuration network for simple setup
  • Built-in Rich Internet Application (RIA) for Status Monitoring, Remote Programming, Logging and Thermal Profile Management
  • Internal storage capacity for more than 100,000,000 data samples

New Add-On Feature Available

In addition, we also have a new add-on feature called Thermal Profile, where you can see a temperature/power graph on-the-fly as you’re heating the wire. You can see any temperature variations in real-time.

The very fast response time of the Integrated Controller (=0.5 ms) allows for very precise and sharp temperature control.

Induction brazing offers key advantages over flame torch brazing

  • No open flames, no more need for using Oxy-Acetylene torches or storing flammable gas tanks. Induction is cleanflamelesssafe.
  • Localized heating: Precise “useful” heat can be focused only to the required joints to be brazed.
  • Consistency & Repeatability: All brazed joints have heat applied evenly, and the brazed results are repeatable.
  • Automation: Feeders, scanners, heating – all can be automated with cost-effectively.
  • Quick/Instant On features make induction energy and cost-efficient.
  • Can be done in an atmosphere for a nice clean braze – no post-cleaning required.
  • Using our optional Master Controller V3+, you can control for Power and Temperature, or Power and Net Heating Time Presets for each braze joint diameter. Use the Controller’s “Quick Access” menu to pull up all the Presets for required braze joints prior to the day’s production run.
