Sources of Distortion Study during Quench Hardening using Computer Modeling
Quench hardening is a transient thermal stress process with phase transformations. It is inevitable that a component will go through plastic deformation due to phase transformations, which will lead to distortion in the hardened part. Understanding the so

Stress and Deformation during Induction Hardening of Tubular Products
Simulation of stresses and deformation during induction hardening is complicated. This paper is a follow on modeling work of induction hardening process presented at 26th HTS in Cincinnati, in October 2011 and UIE Congress in St. Petersburg, Russia, in Ma

Effect of Steel Hardenability on Stress Formation in an Induction Hardened Axle Shaft
Previous work was reported on the induction hardening process for a 1541 steel axle shaft. This presentation compares the previous results with the stress formation dynamics in the same shaft made from steels with lower hardenability. Hardened using a sca
