Change in temperature field distribution during electric-arc hardening

The distribution of temperature fields during electric-arc hardening is investigated. A model of the temperature distribution with respect to a hardened zone depth is developed for different carbon-content steels subjected to electric arc hardening. The calculated results are compared with experimental data to show good agreement.Ural Polytechnic Institute, Ekaterinburg.
