Experimental and Numerical Analysis Applied on Steel Bars Cooling

Article Preview

Abstract:

AISI 1020 steel bars cooling have been investigated aiming to obtain their cooling rate during heat treatment. Hot steel bars just taken out of the furnace are piled over other ones that were taken out of the furnace earlier. A mathematical model has been created and implemented using the software EES, Engineering Equation Solver. An experiment was conducted to validate the mathematical model. The experiment consists in three loads of three bars each with a time interval of 5 minutes between them. The initial temperature of each bar was 150oC. The mathematical model can obtain the thermal profile of each bar and the average and maximum deviation when confronted with experimental data were about 8% and 20% respectively.
