Zusammenfassung: | A system for hardening a cylindrical metal component is disclosed. The system may include a current generating device configured to pass current through the cylindrical metal component, and an actuator configured to axially move the current generating device through the cylindrical metal component. The system may also include a controller in communication with the current generating device and the actuator, the controller being configured to cause the current generating device to pass current through a first end section of the cylindrical metal component to heat the first end section of the cylindrical metal component. The controller may also be configured to inhibit the current generating device from passing current through a middle section of the cylindrical metal component, and cause the current generating device to pass current through a second end section of the cylindrical metal component to heat the second end section of the cylindrical metal component. |
