4. Simulations of the Jominy test
Simulations were performed using the finite element code described in section 3.1 combined with the phase transformation model described and validated in section 3.2.
Changes of the parameters were monitored in 4 points located at the axis of the sample at the distance of 5, 20, 50 and 90 mm from the quenched end, as shown in Figure 3. Simulations were performed for the two bainitic steels with chemical composition given in Table 4 and the coefficients in the phase transformation model given in Ta- bles 5 and 6. Selection of these steels was inspired by promising results of the cold forging tests performed in [9–10].
