Size Effects in Residual Stress Formation during Quenching of Cylinders Made of Hot-Work Tool Steel

Figure 6

Comparison of simulated and measured (by X-ray diffraction) residual stress depth profiles on a cylinder with a diameter of 100 mm, quenched by 6 bar nitrogen pressure. (a) Tangential stress component on the lateral surface (spot P1). (b) Radial stress component on the top surface (spot P2).
