Industry Background:
Vertical hardening machines are supposed to do induction hardening. Vertical gardening is a form of surface hardening that involves induction heating followed by quenching of a metal component. The quenched metal goes through a martensitic transition, which increases the part's hardness and brittleness. Induction hardening is a technique for hardening specific areas of a component or assembly without compromising the part's overall properties. Depending on the size of the part to be heated and the manufacturing process used, such as single-shot hardening, traverse hardening, or submerged hardening, power supplies for induction hardening range from a few kilowatts to hundreds of kilowatts. To choose the right power supply, one must first measure the surface area of the component that needs to be heated. After that, a variety of methods can be used to measure the heat time, necessary power density, and generator operating frequency. Vertical hardening machines can be used in a variety of applications and can be used reliably and flexibly in all traditional inductive procedures.This growth is primarily driven by Need for Surface Hardening of Metals and Demand for Vertical Hardening Machines for Selective Hardening.
Globally, a noticeable market trend is evident Adoption of Molecular Construction in Vertical Hardening Machines. Major Manufacturers, such as EMA Indutec (Germany), Denki Kogyo (Japan), EFD Induction (Norway), Inductotherm (United States), Fuji Electronics (Japan), SMS Elotherm (Germany), EMAG Machine Tools (Germany), Maschinenfabrik ALFING Kessler GmbH (Germany), Nabertherm (Germany), Heess (Germany) and Aichelin Group (Austria) etc have either set up their manufacturing facilities or are planning to start new provision in the dominated region in the upcoming years.
Key Developments in the Market:
On July 14th, 2016, The Austrian Aichelin Group has acquired AFC-holding Holcroft's firm, Atmosphere Group, headquartered in the United States. Aichelin Group is a leading manufacturer of high-quality plants and systems, with its manufacturing firms Aichelin, EMA Indutec, SAFED, BOSIO, and Noxmat. The transaction expands Aichelin Group's global reach and increases its overall business share.
On Dec 3rd, 2020, EMA Indutec, a leading manufacturer of Vertical Hardening Machines announced that it has developed a new process for inductive hardening and tempering. According to the company - The new system is one of the first in the world to induction heat workpieces into a machine, harden them between fixtures, calibrate them on a mandrel and reheat them for stripping. This allows the workpiece to be pulled off the mandrel with almost no wear. This improves the dimensional accuracy of the components and offers suppliers and vehicle manufacturers many economic advantages through direct integration into the production lines.
