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 of the art of the simulation tools including the physical phenomena of quenching, the theoretical background of the coupled modek used for estimation the microstructure, mechanical propertis and deformation of automotive components heat treated.

Analysis and design for aluminum forging process
Öztürk, Hüseyin; Gökler, Mustafa İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008)
Aluminum forging products has been increasingly used in automotive and aerospace industry due to their lightness and strength. In this study, aluminum forging processes of a particular industrial part for the two different alloys (Al 7075 and Al 6061) have been analyzed. The forging part, forging process and the required dies have been designed according to the aluminum forging design parameters. The proposed process has been simulated by using the Finite Volume Method. In the simulations, analysis of the p...
Simulation of equal channel angular pressing applied to produce structures with ultrafine-sized grains
Karpuz, Pinar; Şimşir, Caner; Gür, Cemil Hakan (Inderscience Publishers, 2009-01-01)
Severe plastic deformation methods are of great interest in industrial forming applications, as they give rise to significant refinement in microstructures and improvements in mechanical and physical properties. In the 'equal channel angular pressing (ECAP)', which is the most common method for production of ultrafine grained bulk samples, very high plastic strains are introduced into the bulk material without any change in cross section. In this study, the plastic deformation behaviour of the materials sub...
Comparison of conventional deep drawing, hydromechanical deep-drawing and high pressure sheet metal forming by numerical experiments
Onder, IE; Tekkaya, AE (2005-08-19)
Increasing use of new technologies in automotive and aircraft applications requires intensive research and developments on sheet metal forming processes. This study focuses on the assessment of sheet hydroforming, hydromechanical deep drawing and conventional deep-drawing processes by performing a systematic analysis by numerical simulations. Circular, elliptic, rectangular and square cross-section cups have been selected for the geometry spectrum. Within the range of each cross section, depth, drawing rati...
Sensitivity Analysis of Distortion of Carburized Steel Shafts Using Computer Simulations
Yazır, Büşra; Evcil, Elif; Yıldız, Seçil; Davut, Kemal; Şimşir, Caner (null; 2016-12-01)
Carburizing and subsequent quenching heat treatments are commonly used industrial processes to improve the properties and performance of steel shafts. Undesired dimensional and shape changes (distortion) related to these treatments are still the most frequent reason for expensive and time consuming corrective operations, low performance during service and even product rejection. The major aim of this study is to identify the suitable control parameters for subsequent optimization of the carburized quenching...
Development of piezoelectric ceramics for ultrasonic motor applications
Kalem, Volkan; Timuçin, Muharrem; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2011)
This study has been carried out to develop and manufacture piezoelectric ceramic materials which are utilized for ultrasonic motor (USM) applications. For this purpose, the effect of compositional modifications on the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) based ceramics was investigated. PZT based powders were produced using the mixed oxide method. The base composition was selected as Pb(Zr0.54Ti0.46)O3. The samples in the proximity of morphotrophic phase boundary were dop...
