The Estimation of the Quenching Effects After Carburising Using an Empirical Way Based on Jominy Test Results

Abstract

The graphical and analytical solutions to solve the information transfer from the Jominy test samples to real parts are shown. The essay regarding the analytical solutions for the information transfer from the Jominy test samples to real parts includes detailed information and exemplifications concerning the essence and using the Maynier-Carsi and Eckstein methods in order to determine the quenching constituents proportions corresponding to the different carbon concentrations in carburized layers, respectively the hardness profiles of the carburized and quenched layers. In the final of the chapter, taking into account the steel chemical composition, the geometrical characteristics of the carburized product, the quenching media characteristics, the heat and time parameters of the carburising and the correlations between these values and the Jominy test result, an algorithm to develop a software for the estimation of the quenching effects after carburising, based on the information provided by Jominy test, is proposed.
