Abstract: |
Tool
steels are widely used materials for making elements of metals, polymers,
ceramics and composites. Inflated consumer expectations of contemporary
civilization entail the manufacture of better and better tools, accompanied
by reduced energy consumption. The application of simulators and controls of
technological processes enables the design of optimum processes without the
need for time consuming and costly experimental research. The
present article is devoted to a tool for simulation and control of tool steel
quenching in gases (helium, nitrogen, argon, hydrogen), both at negative as
well as at high pressures. The simulator takes as its input the quenching
parameters, the individual characteristics of the furnace and the material,
dimensions and shape of the treated workpiece, yielding in effect a cooling
curve and the forecast post-quench hardness. The monitoring program, which
constitutes an integral part of the tool, works on-line with the industrial
equipment, thus allowing continuous control of the quenching process with
respect to the simulation in progress. In the subsequent sections the
article presents the operation of the simulator and the monitor, the field of
practical applications thereof, and describes a practical application working
with an industrial furnace. Particular attention is drawn to the verification
stage of the mathematical model and the results of experimental processes of
tool steel quenching. |
