This study focuses on evaluating the transferability of an established induction heat treatment simulation model to the sintered steel Fe-1.8%Cr-0.6%C (Astaloy CrA). As the porosity affects the electromagnetic, thermal and metallurgical material behavior during induction hardening, these material properties were experimentally determined as a function of temperature across all relevant phases.
