Abstract

See full text

When a rod-shaped workpiece (W) having an outer peripheral surface with a circular cross section is inductively heated to a quenching temperature while being conveyed at a predetermined velocity along an axial direction of the rod-shaped workpiece (W), the rod-shaped workpiece (W) being currently conveyed is heated to a predetermined temperature equal to or lower than the quenching temperature by a first heating coil (2A), which is electrically connected to a first high-frequency power supply (3) and has a constant output. Then, the rod-shaped workpiece (W) being currently conveyed is heated so as to be maintained at the quenching temperature by a second heating coil (2B), which is electrically connected to a second high-frequency power supply (4) and has a constant output.
