Finite element analysis on the effect of workpiece geometry on the quenching of ST50 steel

The finite element method (FEM) is employed to investigate the residual stress state and the variation of internal stresses in ST50 steel quenched from 600 to 0°C. Three different geometrical shapes of model were used, namely cylinder, cone and pyramid-shaped cone. Thermal analysis is first performe...
