1.1 本指南涵盖了使用淬火和回火感应工艺对材料进行连续热处理的过程控制和产品性能验证（本指南不考虑表面硬化、表面热处理和使用感应的批量热处理产品）。本指南涵盖的产品示例可能包括API规范20E、5L和5CT涵盖的产品。 1.2 本指南指出了感应热处理与熔炉热处理相比的一些特点。 与熔炉工艺相比，感应热处理工艺通常在更高的温度下运行。 1.3 本指南介绍了感应加热和辅助设备所需的特性和要求。然而，感应设备可与对流加热设备（例如，煤气炉或电炉）结合使用。 1.4 单位- 以国际单位表示的数值应视为标准值。本标准不包括其他计量单位。 1.5 本标准并不旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的使用者有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.6 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 =====意义和用途====== 4.1 本指南帮助购买者评估导入过程，包括可能影响产品质量的关键参数。它指导评估热处理供应商的性能和能力，以确保更高和更一致的产品质量。 4.2 提到 附录X1 以获取本指南的使用流程图。

1.1 This guide covers the process control and product properties verification of continuous heat treating of material using a quench and temper induction process (surface hardening, surface heat treating, and batch heat-treated products using induction are not considered in this guide). Examples of products covered by this guide may include products covered by API Specifications 20E, 5L, and 5CT. 1.2 This guide indicates some features of induction heat treating compared to furnace heat treating. Induction heat treating processes typically operate at higher temperatures compared to furnace processes. 1.3 This guide addresses the features and requirements necessary for induction heating and ancillary equipment. However, induction equipment may be used in combination with convection heating equipment (for example, gas or electric furnaces). 1.4 Units— The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 This guide helps purchasers assess induction processes including the critical parameters that can affect product quality. It guides the evaluation of heat-treating vendor performance and capabilities to ensure higher and more consistent product quality. 4.2 Refer to Appendix X1 for a flow chart for the use of this guide.
