Induction forging refers to the use of an induction heater to pre-heat metals prior to deformation using a press or hammer. Typically metals are heated to between 1,100 °C (2,010 °F) and 1,200 °C (2,190 °F) to increase their malleability and aid flow in the forging die.
Famous quotes containing the words induction and/or forging:
“One might get the impression that I recommend a new methodology which replaces induction by counterinduction and uses a multiplicity of theories, metaphysical views, fairy tales, instead of the customary pair theory/observation. This impression would certainly be mistaken. My intention is not to replace one set of general rules by another such set: my intention is rather to convince the reader that all methodologies, even the most obvious ones, have their limits.”
—Paul Feyerabend (19241994)
“The female culture has shifted more rapidly than the male culture; the image of the go-get em woman has yet to be fully matched by the image of the lets take-care-of-the-kids- together man. More important, over the last thirty years, mens underlying feelings about taking responsibility at home have changed much less than womens feelings have changed about forging some kind of identity at work.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
