Induction Hardening for Shafts & Axles in Ludhiana, Punjab

At Thakur Induction, we specialize in the shaft hardening process, using precision-controlled induction heating and quenching to deliver uniform hardness and superior fatigue resistance.

What Is the Shaft Hardening Process?

The shaft hardening process involves selectively heating the outer surface of the shaft using induction coils and then rapidly cooling it (quenching). This transforms the metal’s outer layer into a martensitic structure — making it extremely hard — while the core remains tough and ductile.

Advantages of Induction Hardening for Shafts and Axles

• Improved Wear Resistance: Hardened surfaces withstand friction, extending service life.
• High Fatigue Strength: Reduces failure under cyclic loading or bending.
• Dimensional Accuracy: Localized heating minimizes warping and distortion.
• Clean & Energy Efficient: No open flames or pollution; process is fully electric.
• Customizable Hardness: Depth and hardness can be tailored for each material.

Axle Hardening in Ludhiana: Trusted by Punjab’s Industry

Axles bear enormous mechanical stress — especially in tractors, trucks, and heavy industrial equipment. They require hard surfaces to handle impact loads and rotational friction. At Thakur Induction, we provide axle hardening job work in Ludhiana using medium-frequency induction machines, polymer quenching systems, and automated rotation systems for uniform heating.

Drive Shaft Heat Treatment – Strength Where It Counts

The drive shaft is a key link in power transmission systems. Drive shaft heat treatment through induction hardening improves torsional strength, ensures consistent case depth, and reduces the risk of surface cracking. We customize the frequency, power, and quenching speed based on the shaft diameter and material composition.
