Using simulation to evaluate part green shape to reduce distortion during plug quenching
Determining the heat-treatment geometry (green shape) for complex gears is not a trivial task. Mass distribution becomes critical in determining […]
Lean Heat Treatment for Distortion Control
Controlling distortion is of key importance during the case hardening process for the production of gear components. By effective control […]
Pre-Nitriding: A Means of Significantly Increasing Carburizing Throughput
Carburizing is a surface-hardening method that uses heated metal in a carbon-rich environment to increase carbon levels on the metal, […]
Rapid Stress Relief and Tempering
Stress relief and tempering are important processes, but they are still conducted much as they have been for the past […]
