Mathematical Modelling of Steel Quenching

Article Preview

Abstract:

Mathematical modelling of phase transformations and hardness distribution in non-monotonic quenched steel specimen was developed based on the results of simple experimental test i.e. Jominy test. The hardness in specimen points was estimated by the conversion of cooling time results to hardness by using both, the relation between cooling time and distance from the quenched end of Jominy specimen, and by using the Jominy hardenability curve. The cooling curve at the specimen point was predicted by numerical modelling of cooling by using the finite volume method. Developed numerical model for computer simulation of quenching was also experimentally verified. Limitations of proposed numerical model were found out as well. It has been shown that proposed numerical model can be successfully applied for purposes of simulation of continuous and interrupted quenching of carbon and low alloyed steel specimens.
