Induction hardening is the process of

A Hardening surface of work-piece to obtain hard and wear resistant surface
B Heating and cooling rapidly
C Increasing hardness throughout
D Inducing hardness by continuous process

Correct Answer: Hardening surface of work-piece to obtain hard and wear resistant surface

Induction hardening is a process used for the surface hardening of steel and other alloy components.
The parts to be heat treated are placed inside a water cooled copper coil and then heated above their transformation temperature by applying an alternating current to the coil.
