METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING AN ELONGATE MECHANICAL COMPONENT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing an elongate mechanical component, wherein an inductive hardening and/or annealing for the purpose of material tempering is carried out by an inductive heating process in an inert or chemically reducing atmosphere, wherein the component is located in said atmosphere substantially until being cooled with the cooling medium and the oxidation to oxygen is substantially avoided thereby, characterised in that the inert or reducing atmosphere is generated in a small chamber that consists of electrically non-conductive material, preferably glass or ceramics, and after the heating the component is guided into the cooling device.
