  • Patent number: 5938964
    Abstract: A high frequency heating method of a bolt sets a maximum achievable temperature Tmax in an inner surface of the bolt with hole to a value which is not higher than a final heat treated temperature To. A maximum thermal stress .sigma.max occurring in the bolt with hole is set to a value which is not more than a yield stress .sigma.ys of the bolt material. From the maximum thermal stress .sigma.max, a temperature difference .DELTA.T is obtained between Tmax and a mean temperature Tmean along an entire cross section of the bolt, under the condition that .DELTA.T is to be not more than a permissible maximum temperature difference .DELTA.To obtainable from the yield stress of the material. The maximum suppliable power by Tmax, .DELTA.T and dimensions of the bolt are obtained, and then a heater is inserted into a small diameter hole of the bolt with hole and the maximum suppliable power, which value is obtained by the above operation, is supplied to the heater so that the bolt with hole is heated to be elongated.

  • Patent number: 5919388
    Abstract: A high frequency bar type heater can be inserted into a hole of an object to be heated even if there is an obstruction above the hole. The high frequency bar type heater has a flexible and slender heat resisting and insulating tube (2) having both its ends closed so as to form a water-tight container. A flexible and slender conductor coil (3) is inserted in the heat resisting and insulating tube (2). A magnetic core (5), sectioned in plural pieces in its longitudinal direction, is contained on an inner side of the conductor coil (3). A flexible cooling water pipe (6) is inserted in the heat resisting and insulating tube (2) so as to cool the interior thereof. The high frequency bar type heater thus has flexibility as a whole. The magnetic core may also be formed of a flexible material.
