Use of Mathematical Modeling in Selecting a Heat-Treatment Regime

  • Published:
Metallurgist Aims and scope

Optimizing the processes used to make new and existing products is an important problem in modern industry. The urgency of this matter has led to broad use of mathematical modeling to model various industrial operations, including heat treatments. However, the adequacy of the results obtained by using the finite-elements method to model physical processes is still open to debate. The goal of this article is to evaluate results from mathematical modeling performed to choose regimes for the heat treatment of low-alloy steel and an aluminum alloy and compare those results with the results of a physical experiment.
