Simulation Of Residual Stresses Due To Heat Treatment

Study and changes in microstructural behaviour due to heat treatment process is reported and analysed through the microstructural images obtained from optical electron microscope and scanning electron microscope.Residual stresses developed in steel was high in samples quenched in brine,next followed by water and then oil. X ray diffraction machine was used to determine the residual stress induced in the samples due to heat treatment experimentally.
