Optimizing Mandrel Dimensions for a Fixture Hardening Process of High-Strength Steel Aerospace Parts by Finite Element Simulation

A fixture hardening process for aerospace gear box components of alloy S156 (16NiCrMo16-5, 1.6722) is investigated by thermomechanical metallurgical 2D axisymmetric Finite Element simulations. Material parameters are experimentally determined. Contact and transformation plasticity effects among othe...
