おいては、所定の焼入距離が確保される。According to the first aspect of the present invention, the surface of the conductor and the exposed surface of the inner wall of the through hole of the work face the high-frequency electrode. When a high-frequency electrode is energized, a high-frequency current is induced on the surface of the conductor and on the exposed surface of the inner wall of the through hole of the work. On the other hand, among the inner wall surfaces of the through holes of the work, the region located below the conductor is not directly opposed to the high-frequency electrode, and is not affected by the high-frequency electric field of the high-frequency electrode. In this region, no high-frequency current is induced. That is, a conductor is provided in the vicinity of the high-frequency electrode in the through-hole of the work, and the surface of the conductor is used as a dummy hardened surface, and a high-frequency current is preferentially induced on the dummy hardened surface, so that the work for the work is prevented. It regulates the induction region of the high-frequency current. According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the conductivity of the conductor is equal to or larger than that of the work, the induced current flows preferentially to the conductor, and the conductor shields the high-frequency electrode from the high-frequency electrode. Electromagnetic radiation to the defined area is reliably blocked. According to the invention described in claim 3,
In the through hole of the work, quenching is performed with the conductor provided on the support base. In this case, a high-frequency current is induced on the surface of the inner wall surface of the through hole of the work, which is located above the conductor, and on the upper surface of the conductor, and quenching is performed only on these surfaces. Electromagnetic waves do not reach the region of the wall surface that is shielded from the high-frequency electrode by the conductor, and quenching is not performed. According to the invention described in claim 4, after quenching the inner peripheral end on one side of the work,
Since the inner peripheral end of the other side of the work is quenched by the above induction hardening method, quenching is achieved in a state where the occurrence of the overlap region of quenching is prevented. , A predetermined quenching distance is secured.
