  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Mathematical modeling of the process of quenching of axisymmetric industrially quenched steel bars is performed with the use of the finite-element method. The model is checked by comparing the results of the temperature simulation with data of simulation by the ANSYS commercial finite-element software.
