    Parameter Identification for an Armstrong-Frederick Hardening Law for Supercooled Austenite of Sae 52100 Steel
    (Elsevier, 2010) Wolff, Michael; Suhr, Bettina; Simsir, Caner
    The mechanical properties of the supercooled austenite phase are sensitive parameters for the prediction of distortion of the components during heat treatments as the inelastic deformation occurs mostly on the soft austenite phase. Recent studies clarified that one of the overlooked issues related with the thermomechanical behavior of supercooled austenite during heat treatment and welding is its complicated cyclic hardening behavior (cf. Simsir et al., Acta Materialia, 2010). Based on those concerns, this article presents an optimization method for determination of temperature-dependent parameters for an Armstrong-Frederick model with combined non-linear kinematic and isotropic hardening, which can potentially pull the quality of simulations through. The results indicate that the proposed approach yields satisfactory results for simulation of heat treatments and welding even with a small and imperfect experimental data pool.

    Simulation of Through-Hardening of Sae 52100 Steel Bearings - Part I: Determination of Material Properties
    (Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2016) Mustak, O.; Evcil, G. E.; Simsir, C.; Evcil, E.
    A complete material dataset for the simulation of through-hardening of SAE 52100 (DIN/EN 100Cr6, JIS SUJ2) steel was derived by a combination of experimental and theoretical/computational methods. In the experimental part, alpha/quenching and deformation dilatometry techniques are combined with density measurements, X-Ray diffraction, optical and scanning electron microscopy to determine temperature and phase dependent transformation kinetics parameters, thermal and transformation strains, flow curves and the transformation plasticity parameter. Thermal properties such as thermal conductivity, specific heat and enthalpy and elastic properties are acquired by thermodynamics based material property calculation method using a commercial software. For most of the material properties, the results were in good agreement with the literature, while the minor discrepancies are discussed considering the raw material, equipment used, testing and evaluation procedure. In Part II of this article, compiled material data is validated successfully in an industrial oil and salt-bath quenching of bearing races.
