Notes:
On the basis of the control volume method the algorithm and computer program for prediction of the hardness distribution in quenched steel specimens with complex geometries have been developed. The algorithm and computer program are designed to solve 2D situation problems such as the quenching of complex cylinders, cones, spheres, etc. The computer program consists of three parts: automatic computation of domain and grid generation, computation of cooling curve in grid-points, and computation of hardness in grid-points. The mathematical model has been tested experimentally. The test showed that the model describes the hardness distribution in a quenched steel specimen of a complex form, with quite satisfactory accuracy. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
