Abstract
In previous work,CitationCitation the distortion of 8620 carburised automotive pinions was determined via computational fluid dynamics, finite element analysis and actual measurements. In an effort to increase performance and to reduce the distortion further, AISI 4320 was examined for the effect of alloy content on distortion. The methodology and results of this work are shown.
The authors would like to thank Fluent Inc. for CFD modelling work, and the management of Houghton International, Inc., and Deformation Control Technology, Inc., for the opportunity to present this work at the 4th International Conference on ‘Thermal process modelling and computer simulation’, Shanghai, China. This paper is a revised version of that presented at the Shanghai Conference.
