Abstract

The purpose of warm forming is to reduce the deformation resistance, and therefore the formation of products at reduced pressures. A key problem associated with warm sheet metal forming is uniform heating of the material to a required temperature. This task is carried out mostly by using resistance heating plates. The article presents the results of the analysis of the thermal state of a heating plate for induction heating of an AMS 5604 stainless steel sheet. To determine the temperature distribution on the sheet surface an FLIR P 640 thermal imaging camera was used. It was found that the temperature difference on the outer surface of sheets preheated to the temperature of 900°C was about 300°C. A large difference in the temperature on the outer surface of the sheet means that the analysed device cannot be successfully used in the heating process of stainless steel sheets. After the application of a layer of graphite on the sheet surface to increase the emissivity, areas of low emissivity as a result of graphite detachment from the sheet surface were observed.
