INDUCTION HEAT TREATMENT FOR MORE DURABILITY

ENGINEERED FOR STRENGTH. BUILT FOR SAFETY.

As an installer, you need high-quality, easy-to-install parts that ensure long-lasting repairs and customer trust. That’s where MOOG’s problem-solving innovations make the difference.
 

INDUCTION HEAT TREATMENT: STRENGTH WHERE IT MATTERS

MOOG applies precision-engineered induction heat treatment — a process that matches or exceeds OE standards — wherever vehicle manufacturers use it. This advanced technology reinforces critical components like ball studs, significantly reducing the risk of fatigue failure. A ball stud failure due to fatigue can lead to a loss of vehicle control, posing a serious safety risk.

Induction hardening is a highly efficient method for strengthening steel. By applying a high electrical current and voltage, the metal is rapidly heated and then immediately cooled, significantly enhancing its hardness and durability.

This unwavering commitment to quality and innovation is what sets MOOG apart from the competition.

WHY STRENGTH MATTERS:

PREVENTING CRITICAL FAILURES

Weak or poorly treated metal components in steering and suspension systems are prone to premature failure, leading to safety risks and costly repairs. Below an example of a common failure that can occur when components lack proper material hardening and durability: 

Ball stud fracture – A weakened or fatigued ball stud can snap under stress, compromising steering control.
