Quenching Distortion Simulation Considered with Residual Stress from Machining Free

This study derived the mechanism by which previous processing processes affect heat treatment quality, especially “variation in deformation,” and clarified a method for predicting it using heat treatment simulations. We investigated the metal structure and residual stress at the completion of machining for a round bar and performed a heat treatment deformation simulation with this in mind and were able to reproduce the heat treatment deformation.
