Numerical Simulation of the Quenching Process of U71Mn Rail-Head: Based on ANSYS Software

Heating, holding and cooling stages in rail-head’s quenching process were all numerical simulated by FEA software ANSYS, the time-varying temperature fields at heating, holding stages and the structure after water-cooled were obtained, and the numerical simulation method to predict the quenching results was provided. It is significantly valuable for parameters’ selection in heavy rail’s technical operation.
