3D Modeling of Induction Hardening of Teeth Wheels

Abstract

Induction hardening of teeth wheels is modeled. The model consists of two nonlinear partial differential equations describing the distributions of magnetic and temperature fields in the system. All material parameters are supposed to be functions of the temperature. The model is then solved numerically in the hard-coupled formulation using the professional code FLUX3D. The methodology is illustrated by a typical example whose results are discussed.
