Different fixture systems, like fixed mandrel, expanding mandrel and lamellar mandrel are described. In the next section there is a comparison between manual operation of hardening machines vs. automated lines. Since there are applications for each, manual and fully automated hardening systems, HEESS has not only focused to develop automated lines, but also refined manual operated hardening machines (SP-Series). These take advantage of the latest technology, like for example quick tool change and PLC-control with workpiece parameter database. An overview over different machine types is given.展开更多

The bulk metallic glass ring of ZГ41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10.0Be22.5 with the outer diameter, the inner diameter, and the thickness of 38, 36, and 5 mm, respectively, was prepared by using a special shaped quartz tube water quenching method. The mechanical properties along the whole cross section were investigated by a nanoindentation method, and no evident variation of the Young＇s modulus and hardness was found, further indicating the single amorphous structure. Amorphous ring and tube-shape parts with different dimensions can be produced by this method.展开更多

According to the practical online experiment of plate center temperature, average heat transfer coefficient under different conditions and temperature fields are analyzed by numerical simulation. The results show that, at the water temperature of 15 ℃, the instantaneous maximum quenching cooling rate is 17.6 ℃/s for the plate of 50 mm in thickness in roller quenching process. In the temperature range of 400-850 ℃, the maximum is 12.1 ℃/s. With the plate surface temperature decreasing, surface heat transfer coefficient increases at first, and reaches the maximum value of about 15 000 W/（m^2·K）, and then decreases. The calculated heat transfer coefficients are applied to analyze plate temperature field of different thicknesses, and the difference between the calculated and measured temperature is less than 5%.展开更多
