GPU Accelerated Finite Element Simulation for Ultra-High Strength Steel Quenching

Article Preview

Abstract:

During the hot stamping of ultra-high strength steel (UHSS), the quenching effect of the mold on the sheet plays an important role to achieve the transition from austenite to martensite. Thus a finite element model for the quenching process of UHSS is established in this paper. The key points of the model include contact thermal conduction and the latent heat processing of phase transforming. Finite element program has been developed to calculate the temperature field of the UHSS quenching process, and temperature measurement device was used to get the temperature-time curve of the mold and the sheet to validate the calculation results. It can be concluded that the latent heat and thermal contact resistance have a critical influence on the temperature filed of the sheet during the hot stamping process. Finally, the parallel computation technology based on GPU(Graphics processing unit) was adopted to accelerate the calculation.
