Surface hardening is the most common example of a heat treating induction process. During this treatment, the surface of the part to be treated undergoes metallurgic transformations. Theoretically when it reaches a temperature greater than Ac3 ( 850900C) the surface undergoes a first transformation. A sufficiently sharp recooling is then followed by a second transformation. The result of this process is a transformed zone, harder than the initial structure and the presence of residual stress in the part (compression of the hardened zone, traction outside this zone). We have developed within PRISMECA, the METAL7 software which lets us compute the variation of the percentage of metallurgic phases during a surface hardening induction process. This software takes into account the finer details of induction heating and of the variation of the physical properties of steel (steel becoming non-magnetic above the Curie temperature, variation of the metallurgic transformation temperatures with rates of heating....).
Comparing real and simulated quenching profiles. To ensure a perfect coherence and an ideal running of FLUX2D and METAL7 programs, the variations of the proportions of phases are computed using the FLUX2D thermal file. We have provided the possibility of saving the metallurgic files in the same structure as *.TRA files. This option lets you use the FLUX2D post-processor for analyzing the metallurgic results obtained. Cdric Durban - PRISMECA
