Abstract

Induction surface hardening is a widely used manufacturing process to improve the mechanical properties of components. However, better process understanding as well as process development requires numerical modeling. The modeling itself depends on the input data in terms of process parameters and the material behavior. Data acquisition is a rather difficult task due to very short processing times, as seen in contour hardening of gears. The article will give an overview over critical aspects regarding the acquisition of input data. A short presentation of the numerical model used to compare experimental and numerical results shall promote better understanding for improving the modeling or reducing the model complexity necessary for good predictability.
