induction forging steel rod (steel bar)

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.

Induction forging have been installed in various of industrial work, mainly in the metal and foundry sector. Examples of materials you can process with forging induction are aluminum, brass, copper, steel and stainless steel.
