Abstract :
This paper present the results of mathematical modeling of induction hardening processes applied to workpieces with complex geometries. The simulation of heating and quenching problems is organized by coupled multi-physical analysis of electromagnetic, thermal and optionally structural processes. Different models and the developed strategy for their use for designing the induction systems are demonstrated on an example of leading wheel gear hardening.
