Abstract
This high-frequency hardening apparatus is provided with: an induction heating coil which has a U-shaped part that sandwiches a turbine blade, a pair of linear parts, and a connection part connecting the U-shaped part and the linear parts; a temperature detection unit which detects, in a non-contact manner, temperature around the induction heating coil; a moving mechanism which relatively moves the turbine blade and the induction heating coil in the direction of blade height; an electrical current supply unit which supplies a high-frequency electrical current to the induction heating coil; and a control device which has an electrical current control unit that, on the basis of a detection value provided by the temperature detection unit, controls the magnitude of the high-frequency electrical current supplied from the electrical current supply unit such that the detection value will not exceed a predetermined temperature.
