Summary:

This article explores a proposed finite-element model (FEM) that simulates temperature distribution of the bainite/martensite multiphase material during water-air alternating surface quenching.

How was DANTE Used?:

DANTE was used with ANSYS to simulating the processes and later used to validate the water spray effects on surface compressive stress.
