Cold Heading Machine for SS304 Components

What is your intended function for the induction heating with grade 304?

It (304) doesn't harden by heat treatment.

In order to anneal, it must be heated to 1010/1121C then QUENCHED IN WATER. Was this what you had in mind?

Were you thinking that you need to heat for hot forging?

304 (om reputable suppliers) is readily fabricated by cold working. It is extremely tough and ductile, meaning it will deep draw, bend, form and upset rather well.

Note, It will probably become slightly magnetic after cold working.

I'll let others describe their dream machine for production, I just want to protect you from the perils of induction...
