Abstract: In numerical simulation of quenching process, the boundary conditions of temperature field and stress field are very important, in which the boundary conditions of temperature field are very complicated. In order to simulate the thermal strains, thermal stresses, residual stresses and microstructure of the steel during gas quenching by means of the numerical method, it is necessary to obtain an accurate boundary condition of temperature field. The surface heat-transfer coefficient is a key parameter. The explicit finite difference method, non-linear estimate method and the experimental relation between temperature and time during quenching have been used to solve the inverse problem of heat conduction. The relationships between surface temperature and surface heat-transfer coefficient of cylinder have been given. The non-linear surface heat-transfer coefficients include the coupled effects between phase transformation and temperature. In calculation, physical properties were treated as the function of temperature and volume fraction of constituent. The results obtained have been shown that this technique can determine effectual the surface heat-transfer coefficients during gas quenching. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
