Temperatures and Stresses due to Quenching of Hollow Cylinders

Abstract

After forging, gun tube blanks are heated to a high temperature and quenched to near room temperature before tempering to achieve the required material properties. The purpose of the quench is to bypass the knee of the pearlite phase. This program was undertaken to establish cooling curves while the material is being quenched and to compute the thermal and transformation stresses involved.
