Simulation of quenching: A review

2012-09-01
Quenching is an important part of the production chain of steel components. The final properties of the product are largely determined during this stage, and this renders quenching as one of the most critical stages of production, requiring design and optimization specific to the product. The simulation of quenching requires the solution of a multi-scale/multi-physics problem with complex boundary conditions because of the simultaneously occurring heat transfer, phase transformation, and mechanical interactions. The aim of this paper is to provide an updated review of research studies on the simulation of quenching. The subject is covered from the pioneering work up to very recent advances in the field, with special emphasis on future research needs for improving the industrial usage of heat treatment simulations.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) facilitates the production of intricate objects despite its weakness in attainable part quality and fabrication speed compared to the conventional manufacturing methods. To alleviate the problems arising as a natural outcome of AM methods, hybrid technologies become viable options by employing concurrent manufacturing procedures, e.g. synergetic additive and subtractive manufacturing (SM) actions. Hybrid workstations have recently opened up new dimensions to 3D-printing industry,...

Quench hardening is a common manufacturing process to produce steel components with reliable service properties. Although quench hardening is a vital part of production based on steel, it is also one of the major causes of rejected components and production losses. Distortion, cracking, achievement of desired distribution of microstructure, and residual stresses are the most important problems during quenching of steels. In order to solve this problem, the dependence of the properties of the final product o...

Selective Laser Melting is a promising manufacturing technique which has been developed significantly in recent years. Additive nature of the process and selective fusion of metal powders enables manufacturing of complex geometries with minimum material wastege. However, residual stress formation during build stage of Selective Laser Melting process have negative effect on part mechanical properties and service life. Existence of residual stresses may lead to crack formation, part distortion and may reduce ...

Oil shale is a type of unconventional hydrocarbon resources with a capability of oil production by practical thermal process called retorting. Mechanism and kinetic study of reactions occur in this process can provide the possibility of theoretical reconstruction of it and furthermore, the simulation of retorting process. Parallel, irreversible, first order reactions are the well-known type which used to modeling the reactions. Mentioned model are simulated with Simulink® (MathWorks® Inc.). By considering t...

Felde, I.; Şimşir, Caner (2013-01-01)
Heat treatment is widely used in automotive industry from a simple immersion quenching of gears upto the complex production technology of press hardening. The selection of process parameters to develop the desired properties is challenging due to the complexity of the physical phenomena occuring during the manufacturing clycle. In the last decades several compuational methods have been applied successful to optimize the heat treatment processes. The paper is focusing on some examples demonstrating the state...
