Dr. Valery Rudnev, FASM is Director of Science & Technology, of
Inductoheat providing assistance in developing novel induction
heating and heat treating technologies for an entire Inductotherm
Group Companies. Dr. Rudnev is considered by many as one of the
leading global figures in the induction heating and heat treating
industry and is known within the American Society for Materials
(ASM International) and among induction heating professionals
worldwide as "Professor Induction." In 2006, Dr. Rudnev was elected
as a Fellow of the ASM Int’l in recognition of his distinguished
contributions in materials science and engineering. His credits
include more than 40 patents and inventions and more than 200
publications. Dr. Rudnev contributed materials to 10 Handbooks
devoted to various aspects of induction heating, heat treating,
material science and computer modeling. In 2013 – 2016, he was
elected as the Chairman of the Technical Committee of the Forging
Industry Association (FIA) of North America.
Mr. Don Loveless was Group Vice President of Technology (retired)
at Inductoheat Inc. and continues as a consultant. He received his
Electrical Engineering degree from Western Michigan University. His
global responsibilities included development of 14 models of
induction heating power supplies including IGBT and MOS FET
inverters as well as medium and high frequency transformers for a
wide variety of applications of induction heating and heat
treating. Mr. Loveless joined Inductoheat in 1972. His credits
include a great deal of "know-how", technical reports and research
& engineering publications, including his contribution in several
Handbooks published in USA and Europe. Mr. Loveless has been
granted 18 US patents with 14 pending and has numerous related
foreign patents. His inventions include system design and process
innovations as well as power electronic components, circuits and
process control strategies. He is a life member of the IEEE
Industrial Applications, Power Electronics and Industrial
Electronics Societies.
Mr. Raymond Cook was Vice President of Engineering (retired) at
Inductoheat Inc. He is a registered Professional Engineer in the
State of Michigan, with a B.S. degree from Western Michigan
University and M.B.A. from Wayne State University, Michigan. Mr.
Cook’s credits include a great deal of "know-how" and he has been
involved in the pioneering designs of high-, medium- and
low-frequency solid state inverters, load matching equipment,
machine and system designs, process control and monitoring systems
for a wide variety of induction heating and heat treating
applications including hardening, annealing, tempering, stress
relieving, shrink fitting and many others. This includes the
InductoScan Technology, which has become an acknowledged standard
in modern induction scan hardening. Mr. Cook has been with
Inductoheat for more than 36 years. He has written numerous
technical publications including several chapters for various
Handbooks.
"The 2nd Edition of the Handbook for Induction Heating is
equivalent to having 3 world class experts on staff without paying
high priced consulting fees. For your seasoned, and probably more
importantly, your new and emerging manufacturing and process
engineers, this comprehensive guide provides the details your
company needs to compete around the world. Significant technical
achievements have occurred since 2002 with the last edition.
Rudnev, Loveless, and Cook have compiled an indispensable, world
class text replete with the basics and advanced concepts of
induction heating. The case studies also illustrate and inspire the
design and deployment of innovative concepts which transform theory
into application. If you are not reading and using this tour de
force, it is safe to say that your competitors have read and marked
up their copies."

Manufacturing Consortium, and Past President, ASM International
(2015 – 2016)"As an automotive plant we are performing several heat
treatment processes, among them induction hardening. Rear axle
shafts, ring gears, couplers, etc. … all require induction
hardening in order to obtain the required material properties like
case depth, surface hardness, … . Although we have decades of
experience, it is of crucial importance to have -theoretical and
practical- technical support from specialists. The Handbook of
Induction Heating is an exceptional help and reference work for
everyone that is involved in IH. Not only when everything goes
fine, but also when you face problems like undesirable or
unexplainable results after IH, machine issues, etc. This book has
given us the answer to many questions over the years and it will
continue to do that. The 2nd edition is even more enhanced, and
contains again a wide spectrum of many different issues that belong
to the world of the practitioners of IH. One more thing to add: in
the seldom event that one of the problems you face is not mentioned
in the book, you can easily turn to the authors and ask them your
question. This is what we experienced and appreciate
enormously."
—Mike Bogaerts, Supervisor Materials and Chemical Lab, CNH
Industrial, Antwerp, Belgium"Induction heating is used in many
applications which include heat treatment, forging, extrusion,
rolling, bonding, brazing, sealing, shrink fitting, drying, and
bending. A thorough knowledge of the process enables one to
optimize its use in ever-increasing number of applications. This
handbook assimilates the broad experience of the authors to
accomplish this need."
— Tirupathi R. Chandrupatla, Rowan University, New Jersey, USA"A
very comprehensive, must-have textbook that heat treatment
engineers should definitely read. You can learn every aspect of
induction hardening and become an expert starting from
scratch."
