...U. Heck; U. Fritsching; K. Bauckhage Heat treatment by quenching of individual metallic parts with multiple impinging gas jets is an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional surface hardening and quenching in liquids. In the present investigation the gas flow field and simultaneous heat...

... of the latent heats of the phase changes. This model is applied to simulate surface heat treatments, which play an important role in the manufacturing of steel. Two different technologies are considered: laser and induction hardening. In the latter case the model has to be extended by Maxwell’s equations...
