Abstract
An induction heating device for surface treating the teeth (11) of a mechanical part on which each tooth (111) has a projecting tip (111s) and a tooth root linking the tooth to an adjacent tooth, wherein an in duction coil (12, 12') is spaced from the tooth tips and powered by at least one high-frequency current source. The coil consists of a set of conductive segments (24, 24') individually orthogonal to the generatrix (d, d') of the teeth, located above respective tooth tips and interconnected via connecting segments (25, 25').
