Abstract

The object of this research is to estimate the hardenability of quenched carbon steels AISI 1050. The equation of transient heat conduction was analyzed to derive cooling curve by finite element method. The effects of temperature on physical properties, metallic structures and the latent heat by phase transformation were considered. A good agreement was found between analytical and experimental results to show that the proposed numerical procedure was reliable. This procedure could be used as the detabase for optimal condition of heat treatment cycle.
