Conjugate Heat Transfer (legacy)

Conjugate heat transfer (legacy) has been replaced by Conjugate Heat Transfer v2.0 and will shortly no longer be available for use. You can only see it here as you have been granted access based on an exceptional condition. Therefore we strongly recommend to use CHT v2.0 as a default and consult with your simscale support staff if you feel Conjugate Heat Transfer (legacy) is required for your application. | Page 84

Simulate plate quench of 3/16in  01 tool steel.  Note that simulation shows only half of the quench (one plate and .097 steel stock) to  better see  center line temperature (e.g. when the knife edge would be after grinding bevel).   This simulation assumes no bevels are ground in the blade before quenching.   Conclusion:  Simulation suggests that in ideal conditions 3/16in steel   can be quenched from 800 C to 400 C  in 7 seconds (at the edges, not in the center) using 1.5in aluminum quench plates.    This is fast enough for full edge hardness of  most oil hardening tool steels (O1, 97 etc).   NOT fast enough to avoid pearlite in the cutting edge in faster steels like 52100  and 8760.      Definitely NOT fast enough for water hardening steels (W1, 1095 )
