Induction Edge Hardening for Tooth Edges: Top or Sides?

  • Thread starter FowlerE
  • Start date
In summary, induction edge hardening can be applied to both the top and sides of tooth edges in order to increase their hardness and resistance to wear and tear. The specific method chosen depends on the type of tooth and its intended use, with top hardening being more suitable for cutting teeth and side hardening being more effective for grinding teeth. Both techniques involve heating the tooth edge with an induction coil and then rapidly cooling it, resulting in a hardened and more durable surface. Careful consideration must be given to the design and placement of the induction coil to ensure proper hardening and avoid any potential damage to the tooth.

Having a hard time grasping induction edge hardening with a tooth edge with a pattern similar to something like this. /\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_ just want to harden the tip like .018. Do you harden from the top or sides?
