With ABAQUS software, a finite element model is built to simulate the temperature field of 150mm ultra thick plate for 12Cr2Mo1R pressure vessels during heat treatment. The simulation results show that the plate’s temperature between the surface and the core is difference during cooling process. Temperature difference is gradually increased with cooling process, then the temperature distribution of plate in the thickness direction becomes uniform. When quenching temperature is 910 °C and cooling medium is water, the microstructure at plate’s quarter in the thickness direction is bainite. Simulation results provide theoretical reference for determining heat treatment technology in industrial production of ultra thick plate.

The effect of quenching temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 40Cr steel by zero time holding quenching were studied. The results showed that the strength and hardness of 40Cr steel increased with the increase of quenching temperature in the range of 860~940°C, the strength and hardness reach the maximum at 920°C and then decrease. The metallographic analysis shows austenite grains of the samples by “Zero Time Holding” Quenching have been refined compared with the traditional heat treatment technology. Fine lath martensite was obtained by the “zero time holding” quenching due to the smaller austenitic crystal grain and the uneven distribution of the carbon concentration in austenitic crystal grain.

Finite difference equations are used for simulation of plate temperature field in roller quenching, and cooling rate in thickness direction is calculated in this paper. Based on improved Maynier model of steel chemical composition and cooling rate, the microstructure constituents and hardness of 30mm thickness pressure vessel steel 07MnNiMoVDR are predicted and calculated with interpolation method. The experimental verification indicates that the simulation results agree well with the experimental ones.

Cooling design in the forming operation of the television (TV) panel is important because it significantly affects the part quality associated with residual stresses and productivity. A mathematical model and numerical simulation for the cooling process of the panel has been developed. The renormalization group turbulence model is applied for the jet impinging cooling, and a local one-dimensional transient analysis in the thickness direction is adopted for the part, which employs the finite difference method. The experimental verification shows a good agreement with the simulation results.

The experiment of the hardness property for 65Mn spring steel under different heat treatments is conducted. The results are discussed based on the regression orthogonal design. The hardness property of 65Mn steel has been discussed by applying diverse heat treatment technology and the optimum parameters of heat treatment for the best hardness value are obtained through experiments. The influence of the parameters on hardness property is studied by applying the regression orthogonal design. The relation between the hardness and diverse heat treatment parameters has been given by using planar figure. The optimum heat treatment parameter for maximum hardness ability is obtained as following: 851.4°C for quenching temperature, 18 min for quenching time, and 146.4°C for tempering temperature, respectively. The result showed that the selection of material heat treatment process parameters has a great influence on the hardness of the material, which will provide a reliable basis to further study the wear resistance of material.

The effect of “zero time holding” quenching temperature on the 45 steel’s microstructure and mechanical properties were studied by the orthogonal regressive principle. The 45 steel’s microstructure characteristics with “zero time holding” quenched were analyzed. The results showed that the 45 steel’s strength and hardness increased with the increase of quenching temperature in the range of 780~ 900°C. The grain size in zero time holding was smaller than that with holding time (60 min). The martensite lath was very fine after “zero time holding” quenched. The mechanical properties of the 45 steel Processed by the zero time holding heat treatment is higher than those processed by the conventional heat treatment. The experimental results showed that the properties of the drive shaft with 45 steel were satisfying after they are processed with the “zero time holding”heat treatment technology.

Huge rectangular ingots becomes crying needs in the condition of lots of heavy plate mills more than 5m have been in operation. In this paper, a special method of wind cooling outside mould has been presented and applied to produce 60t rectangular ingot. Mathematical simulation results tell us that by wind cooling, the solidification time of the 60t ingot can be shortened by 67 minutes, internal soundness can be ensured. The wind cooling process can obviously improve microstructure and preventing skull patch by increasing the thickness of solidified shell. A 60 tons huge rectangular ingot is successfully produced by wind cooling, the surface quality of is very well and the internal soundness should be improved further.


The thickness of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) has a great influence on the strength of the welded joint, so one of the important tasks is to control the HAZ to a small enough level, through using the suitable heat-input (qd). In this study, the authors use SYSWELD software to compute and build a relationship between the heat-input and the thickness of the heat-affected zone in the plate thickness direction to find the right heat-input for researched welding joint. The simulation results show that when welding the root pass with qd > 552 J/mm and the cap pass with 754 J/mm < qd < 1066 J/mm, the thickness of HAZ were increased with a function almost linearly.
