Application of Induction Heating to Short-Time Elevated Temperature Tensile Testing

Abstract

Techniques and apparatus were investigated and developed for conducting short-time elevated temperature tensile tests utilizing high frequency induction heating. By use of this method, metal specimens are heated rapidly to a predetermined temperature and then loaded at various strain rates. Proportional temperature control equipment for the induction heater was developed for this testing technique. Tensile test data were obtained at 600 deg, 800 deg, and 1000 deg F on 120 plain and welded titanium alloy specimens. Typical results obtained are given and the limitations and possibilities of the technique discussed.
