- Title
Computer Modeling Helps Prevent Failures of Heat Treated Components.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the design features and process recipes that cause cracking on induction hardening process. It says that overheating, the usual cracking cause, weakens grain structure of steel due to formation of unwanted metallurgical microstructures like decarburization. It adds that design features like keyways distort magnetic field of inductor; thus, producing unwanted microstructures. It suggests the use of computer modeling to determine details of a process to prevent cracking.
