Application of C-Ring Specimen for Controlling the Distortion of Parts During Quenching

  • SIMULATION
  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

The process of quenching of a Navy C-ring specimen from steel AISI 4140 is simulated with the help of the DANTE software for determining the effect of stirring of the quenching medium and of the quenching temperature on the distortion of the specimen. The heat transfer coefficients (KT) of the quenching medium at different intensities of its stirring are determined experimentally with the use of a CHTE probe for controlling the heat treatment parameters of metallic materials. The experimental data agree well with the simulation results.
