Description
Short description:
Understand how to control distortion and residual stresses in carburised components.
Long description:
This module focuses on the causes, effects, and control of distortion and residual stresses in carburised steel components. It explains how internal stresses arise during phase transformations and how they influence dimensional accuracy and component performance. Learners explore key process parameters that must be monitored to ensure consistent results, including temperature, carburising potential, quenching conditions, and material composition. The module also presents practical strategies for minimising distortion, such as controlled material selection, component orientation, and process standardisation. Through real-world application cases, it demonstrates how to manage variability in stress and distortion, and introduces advanced techniques such as die quenching to control deformation in complex geometries.
