Production Efficiency Resulting from Advanced Pre and Post Heat Treatment

Résumé
Today, when we assemble our cast alloy assemblies, we pre heat prior to welding with open flame tiger torches. While that meets minimum standards, it does not ensure we have even heat throughout the cast component, nor consistent heat during the welding process (which can take 16 hours). When we finish the welding, we need to apply post heat in a controlled cool down, using blankets.
We will evaluate induction heating in place of current torches. Based on our research, we will have numerous benefits including:
1. A safer environment with the elimination of open flame
2. A faster preheat time.
3. Controlled temperature during the welding
4. Consistent temperature throughout the cast component
5. Easier and faster cool down methods

Description (French)
Aujourd’hui, lorsque nous assemblons nos alliages moulés, nous les préchauffons avant de les souder à l’aide de chalumeaux à flamme nue. Bien que cela réponde aux normes minimales, cela ne garantit pas une chaleur homogène dans l’ensemble du composant moulé, ni une chaleur constante pendant le processus de soudage (qui peut durer 16 heures). Lorsque nous avons terminé le soudage, nous devons appliquer une post-chauffe dans le cadre d’un refroidissement contrôlé, à l’aide de couvertures. Nous évaluerons le chauffage par induction à la place des torches actuelles. D’après nos recherches, nous bénéficierons de nombreux avantages, notamment 1. Un environnement plus sûr grâce à l’élimination des flammes nues 2. Un temps de préchauffage plus rapide. 3. Une température contrôlée pendant le soudage 4. Une température constante dans l’ensemble de la pièce moulée 5. Des méthodes de refroidissement plus faciles et plus rapides.
