Mathematical models are widely used to simulate the thermal field inside the workpiece dur ing laser hardening.Simple analitycal models allow to identify the range of working parameters, otherwise numer ical methods may produce more accurate predictions.In particular, the results obtained with two -dimension, finite elements code to design laser hardening process of actual workpieces are reported.
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.
