Abstract

Abstract: Based on thermo-fluid-solid coupling simulation, quenching and cooling process of 45 steel spiral bevel gears was numerical simulated, and the influence of quenching medium flow rate on quenching results was studied. It is found that the maximum relative errors between the cooling curves of thermo-fluid-solid coupling simulation and traditional simulation and experimental measurement are 9.2% and 7.4%, respectively. Moreover, more accurate prediction of temperature distribution under quenching medium flow conditions is achieved, verifying the accuracy and convenience of this method. When the inlet flow rate is 2 m/s, the maximum hardness value is 52.0 HRC, and the residual stress is mainly favorable compressive stress.
