Bolted Flange

As a promising metalwork processing technology, electromagnetic induction heating (EMIH) method has been applied in dealing with bolted flange joints in turbomachinery. In this study, a 3-D finite element model of electromagnetic induction heating system for the bolted flange joint is established, and the specific governing equations are derived based on Maxwell’s principle. The alternately-coupled magneto-thermal analysis is carried out considering temperature-dependent material properties to obtain the temperature distribution, followed with the uncoupled thermal-mechanical analysis to acquire the axial stress and deformation in EMIH process. The magnetic induction intensity mainly concentrates at the inner wall region, attenuates seriously along the radial direction, and reduces to almost zero at the outer wall. Due to the skin effect, the heat transfers radially and axially outward, indicating a diamondlike-shaped development from the center to the surrounding region. The axial stress with and without initial pretension are also discussed respectively. Then the corresponding experiments are introduced and carried out to validate the reliability of numerical simulation results. By comparing the results of the center point of inner surface and outer surface, the numerical simulation is proved reliable with a 5∼10% reasonable deviation. Further, the induction heating process has been improved through the optimization method based on pattern search algorithm. By adopting the stepped input current density optimized in the study, the optimal thermal stress tends to be constant and the final heating time reduces by 20.5% in the safe range of stress.

Heat Diffusion Equation

In this work, a numerical model for induction heating is proposed. The heating process considers only interaction of electromagnetic effects and heat transfer, and is represented by an unsteady heat diffusion equation. The numerical simulation of the process is performed using a finite volume method in which the induction heating is represented by a volumetric heat source term. The heat source term is evaluated analytically using principles based on Faraday’s and Biot- Savart laws. The technique is applied to the case of induction heating of a cylindrical A356 aluminum alloy billet. The model predicts magnetic flux density and temperature distribution during the heating process. The effects of process parameters, such as frequency and current density, on the temperature distribution are also studied. The results show that nearly uniform distribution of temperature can be achieved when the billet is heated slowly with low frequency and low supply current density.
