The algorithm and computer program are completed to simulate the quenching of complex cylinders, cones, spheres, etc. Numerical simulation of steel quenching is a complex problem, dealing with estimation of microstructure and hardness distribution, and also dealing with evaluation of residual stresses and distortions after quenching. The nonlinear finite volume method has been used in numerical simulation. By the established computer program, mechanical properties and residual stresses and strains distributions in the quenched specimen can be given at every moment of quenching.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
