NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SUBMERGED INDUCTION HARDENING PROCESS

摘要

This article deals with the study of the submerged induction hardening process. The paper performs a numerical analysis of the heating and cooling stage of two hardening processes. A hardening process uses the induction submerged heating technique, and the other hardening process uses the air induction heating technique. These processes are simulated by means of a quasi 1D model and a 2D model.
