Improving Tube and Pipe Fabrication Through Induction Heating
Surface Fortification for Resistance to Wear and Fatigue
Tube and pipe components, such as bends, welded areas, flanges, and couplings, are constantly subjected to stress from erosion caused by fluid flow and mechanical loads. CEIA’s induction heating systems provide regulated surface hardening to enhance the durability and fatigue lifespan in these vulnerable areas.
Brazing and Assembly of Tube Connections
Top-tier brazing of tube joints and pipe connectors is vital for leak-proof performance in plumbing, climate control systems (HVAC), oil and gas operations, and industrial piping networks. CEIA’s induction brazing guarantees robust, uniform connections with minimal heat-affected zones and outstanding sealing capabilities.
Shrink Fitting and Accurate Component Integration
Induction heating enables precise shrink fitting of protective sleeves, flanged ends, clamps, bushings, and terminal fittings, which maintains strict tolerances, alleviates stress concentrations, and ensures reliable sealing and mechanical stability.
Annealing, Stress Reduction, and Thermal Processing
Tube and pipe materials frequently require annealing or the removal of residual stress following forming or welding to prevent distortion, cracking, or internal strain. CEIA’s systems deliver reliable thermal profiles designed to reinstate dimensional integrity and prolong the operational lifespan.
