| Abstract |
The process of induction heating followed by forced cooling of large-scale castings is
considered. The main goal of this study is to develop a reliable design methodology of surface heat treatment process to provide high quality of the treated component. It is assured by determination of the material constants and convection coefficient during heating and cooling experiments carried out on the specimens made of material adequate to the considered large-scale casting. The main part
of the investigations was preceded by wide analyses of the mechanical and chemical properties of the tested specimens. The presented global design methodology of large-scale castings gives a possibility to predict the temperature distribution on the hardened surface during induction heating and forced cooling. This allows to select the most adequate parameters and apply them in a real
specific process. The obtained results have been analyzed and discussed. |
