Induction hardening is a fast and energy efficient surface hardening method for steel components, where only the material volume to be hardened is heated by induction and subsequently shower quenched. The component will thus gain increased wear- and fatigue strength.
Today, industrial production planning for induction hardening is solely done by experienced-based trial-and-error. Hence, the purpose of this project is to introduce a more digitized method for production planning, which enables rapid implementation of robust processes for new products and new materials.
The project is organized into four work packages, two of which deal with sub-challenges:
WP1: Model and simulation-driven development
WP2: Data-driven development
WP3: Implementation demonstrators
WP4: Project Management and Knowledge Dissemination
