Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0253176A2] For heat treating iron and steel work pieces, the latter are heated up in a vacuum and cooled by blasting with inert gas under pressure. Martensite is formed evenly over the entire charge if, after rapid cooling to martensite-forming temperature, temperature equalisation between charge surface and charge interior is brought about by slowing down the gas-circulating velocity. For this purpose, the temperature of the charge surface is measured and the temperature course in the charge interior simulated by means of a computer program into which the charge-specific parameters have been previously fed.
