Superficial quenching of mechanical pieces and calculation of residual stresses: modeling and simulation

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Hardening of steel after induction surface heating is studied. Amodel of the process of hardening of a cylinder is created and subjected to numerical simulation in order to determine the stresses formed in the part. Two principal methods for describing the variation of the stress state during the treatment are developed. Residual stresses are analyzed in both models and compared with the results of an x-ray study. The correlation between the measured data and the numerical results is discussed.
