Abstract

Abstract: Based on finite element simulation method, the temperature and fluid fields of the vacuum heat treatment furnace hot zone were simulated precisely. The temperature and fluid fields involving three different actual product situations which are empty loading, only loading frame and full loading blade were simulated. The temperature tendency in qualified working zone is monitored by nine points temperature testing method. Meanwhile, the fluid field at several different parts were monitored. Compared to the measuring data, the variation of the temperature and the coupling relationship between furnace temperature and its fluid field were summarized. The foundation was laid to summarize the temperature-velocity interaction and distribution pattern and achieve the precisely controlling of the vacuum heating treatment in the future.

Key words: superalloy, heat treatment, vacuum gas quenching furnace, finite element simulation
