Optimale Verfahrensparameter beim induktiven Randschichthärten durch rechnerische Simulation

Numerical simulations allow to describe the governing phenomena of the induction hardening process. The first part of this paper summarizes results of experimental investigations about the influence of induction hardening parameters on compressive residual stresses and fatigue strength. The second part presents a numerical simulation method for the induction hardening process and finally the application of the methodology on hand of two examples is demonstrated.
