The objective of this finite element simulation study is to predict deformations and residual stresses in the carbide rich cold work tool steel X220CrVMo13-4 after tempering. A thermo-metallurgical-mechanical model with experimentally determined phase transformation kinetics and phase dependent material properties is implemented to simulate the quenching and tempering cycles. Considering the transformation of retained austenite during tempering, high alloyed tool steels behave differently compared to most other ferritic or martensitic steels. For the steel under consideration, retained austenite remains stable up to higher temperatures (≈ 600 °C) and decomposes during cooling from tempering temperature. The transformation kinetics of this steel during tempering is investigated by dilatometer and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements. In order to achieve the mechanical properties of each phase that appears during tempering, compression tests have been conducted for several temperatures and phase compositions respectively. Eventually, the experimentally determined phase transformation kinetics of tempering as well as phase and temperature dependent material properties were implemented into the finite element analysis software Sysweld®. In order to verify the model, a specimen, hardened and tempered in a dilatometer has been modeled. The comparison of experimental and numerical results shows quite good agreement. Finally stress and deformation evolution during quenching and tempering have been simulated for a component with practical relevance.

Computation of Thermal Fracture Parameters for Inclined Cracks in Functionally Graded Materials Using Jk-Integral
Dağ, Serkan (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
This article describes the formulation and implementation of the Jk-integral for the analysis of inclined cracks located in functionally graded materials (FGMs) that are subjected to thermal stresses. The generalized definition of the Jk-integral over a vanishingly small curve at the tip of an inclined crack is converted to a domain independent form that consists of area and line integrals defined over finite domains. A numerical procedure based on the finite element method is then developed, which allows t...

Kart, HH; Uludogan, M; Cagin, T; Tomak, Mehmet (2003-09-12)
Glass formation and crystallization process of Pd-Ag metallic alloys are investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulation. This simulation uses the quantum Sutton-Chen (Q-SC) potential to study structural and transport properties of Pd-Ag alloys. Cooling rates and concentration effects on the glass formation and crystallization of binary alloys considered in this work are investigated. Pd-Ag alloys show the glass structure at fast cooling rates while it crystallizes at slow cooling rates. Increment of...

The objective of this study is to observe the effect of the critical design parameters, velocities of inlet gases (hydrogen and air) and the conductivity of polymer membrane, on the performance of a high temperature PEM fuel cell. A consistent and systematic mathematical model is developed in order to study the effect of these parameters.
