Quenching induced residue stress in M50 steel ring: a FEM simulation

A finite element method (FEM) combined with subroutines was established and used for tracing the evolution of stresses in M50 steel in quenching. The constitutive relation and thermal physical properties of M50 steel were tested and integrated into the modeling. The finite element analysis, taking i...

description A finite element method (FEM) combined with subroutines was established and used for tracing the evolution of stresses in M50 steel in quenching. The constitutive relation and thermal physical properties of M50 steel were tested and integrated into the modeling. The finite element analysis, taking into account of thermal stresses and martensitic phase transformation, predicts accurately the high-velocity nitrogen (HNQ) induced residual stresses in the M50 steel bulk. The simulation results suggested that the residual stresses in M50 steel is compressive at the surface while tensive at the center, along with very strong residual stresses at edges. The residual stress reaches to the high level of −810.3 MPa and −1436 MPa in the case of HNQ and water quenching, respectively. The evolution of stress is found to be jointly driven by the thermal stress and phase transformation stress. The thermal stress dominates the evolution at the initial stage while the phase transformation stress becomes dominating once the martensite transformation begins.
