An Emerging Tool for Pioneering Engineers
Co-published by the International Federation of Heat Treatment
and Surface Engineering.
Thermal processing is a highly precise science that does not
easily lend itself to improvements through modeling, as the
computations required to attain an accurate prediction of the
microstructure and properties of work pieces is sophisticated
beyond the capacity of human calculation.. Over the years, any
developments in thermal processes relied largely on empiricism and
traditional practice, but advancements in computer technology are
beginning to change this.
Enhances the quest for process optimization
Comprehensive and authoritative, the Handbook of Thermal Process
Modeling of Steels provides practicing engineers with the first
complete resource that meets the needs of both those new to
modeling and those hoping to profit from advances in the field.
Written by those with practical experience, it demonstrates what is
involved in predicting material response under industrial rather
than laboratory conditions, and consequently, gives heightened
insight into the physical origins of various aspects of materials
behavior.
Encourages both the understanding and the use of real time
process control
Before the advent of sophisticated computers, the errors
inherent in computational predictions made modeling an ineffective
gamble rather than a cost saving tool. Today, modeling shows great
promise in both materials performance improvements and process cost
reduction.
The basic mathematical models for thermal processing simulation
gradually introduced to date have yielded enormous advantages for
some engineering applications; however, much research needs to e
accomplished as existing models remain highly simplified by
comparison with real commercial thermal processes. Yet, this is
quickly changing. Ultimately, those engineers who can move this
tool of improvement out of the lab and onto the factory floor will
discover vast opportunities to gain a competitive edge.
