Summary:A module supplementing the ABAQUS software is developed for solving a joint heat and diffusion problem with allowance for the phase transformations in materials in the process of induction quenching. The approach provides a deeper study of the structure and properties of materials and makes it possible to develop a method for computing the number of phase components, the size of austenite grains, the hardness, the thermophysical characteristics, and the latent heat of induction quenching. Such computations are impossible on the basis of standard softwares. The adequacy of the simulation tool suggested by the authors is confirmed by matching between simulated and experimental data.
