In this study, a recently developed multispectral temperature measurement method is applied for temperature monitoring of induction hardening of steel. An industry-like induction heating process is used for evaluating the method and an automatic calibration procedure is presented. Thermocouples and a conventional pyrometer are used for comparison, showing that the multispectral method gives more accurate results than the conventional pyrometer. These results confirm that the multispectral method is well suited for accurate, non-contacting temperature measurements for induction hardening processes. Enabling measurements which have previously not been possible. This enables fast selection of process parameters which can improve productivity.
