Abstract

Induction hardening is widely used in the industry as a surface heat treatment that improves the surface and the subsurface hardness of components greatly. The hardened case, which usually is a few mm, highly impacts the surface and structural integrity of the component. In this work, we simulate the scanning induction hardening process by means of finite element modeling. The computed hardness, microstructure, and residual stress profile are compared with experimentally measured data using several surface and subsurface characterization techniques. A very good agreement is found between the simulated and experimentally measured residual stresses, which were characterized by the incremental hole drilling technique.
