Numerical Simulation of Jominy End Quench Test Using Coupled Heat Transfer and Phase Transformation Model

Abstract:

Jominy end quench test is a standardized metallurgical experiment for obtaining data on steel hardenability. Construction of numerical simulation of the test provides a way for parameterizing and validation of numerical models using the experimental data. In the current work we present the coupled heat transfer, conduction and phase transformation model, which allows for calculation of phase fractions at different positions at the Jominy test piece, and includes the latent heat released by the phase transformations. Also, the temperature and phase fraction dependence of the thermal conductivity is included in the calculation.
