Case Study 3: Press Quench Process Sensitivities of Bearing
A press quenching process of an AISI 52100 bearing ring was resulting in a failure rate of over 60%. When die load pulsing was used, the failure rate dropped to near 0%. DANTE heat treatment simulation software was used to explore the causes which led to the high failure rate.

Case Study 4: Design Using DANTE
This case study explores using the DANTE heat treatment simulation software during the design of a bevel gear. First, the distortion from a free oil quench is predicted. A process change and a geometry change are then incorporated to reduce the warpage of the bevel to improve fatigue behavior.

Case Study 5: LPC Process Improvement
A ring gear was experiencing poor rolling contact fatigue due to large carbides from the low pressure carburization process. DANTE was used to redesign the LPC process to reduce the formation of carbides.
