Art and Architecture

The world of art intersects with the world of metals in countless ways, often involving some type of thermal processing to prepare the metal for the hands and talents of the artist. Iron ore—transformed into cast iron, steel or wrought iron—is used abundantly by the art world, though it is typically coated with non-oxidizing materials to prevent rust.

Similarly, architects and builders have incorporated many kinds of metals into their work, often with beautiful effects. Today’s thermal processing equipment and techniques yield metals that can be both strong and durable, yet are sufficiently malleable to allow for inventive adaptations in all types of constructions from office buildings to bridges to factories and more.

Rail and Mill Roll Hardening

Mill Roll Hardening Systems are becoming increasingly popular with the expanding development of cold mills which subject the rolls to high stresses. For the surface heating of steel parts, induction heating is considered to be the application best suited for this. Induction heating has many applications and is especially effective in hardening rolling mill rolls. Railhttps://www.inductothermgroup.com/products/rail-and-mill-roll-hardening/...
