Abstract:

In order to simulate the thermal stresses, thermal strains and residual stresses of steel during quenching by numerical means, it is necessary to obtain an accurate boundary condition of temperature field. The explicit finite difference method, nonlinear estimate method and the experimental relation between temperature and time during water and nitrogen-spray water quenching have been used to solve the inverse problem of heat conduction. The relations between surface heat-transfer coefficient in water and nitrogen-spray water quenching and surface temperature of cylinder have been given. In numerical calculation, the thermal physical properties of material were treated as the function of temperature. The results show that the relations between surface heat-transfer coefficient and surface temperature are non-linear during water and nitrogen-spray water quenching, the heat-transfer coefficient is bigger when water quenching than when nitrogen-spray water before 580°C, the heat-transfer coefficient is smaller when water quenching than when nitrogen-spray water after 400°C. The results of calculation coincided with the results of experiment. This method can effectively determine the surface heat-transfer coefficient during water and nitrogen-spray water quenching.
