Abstract
The objective of the current investigation consists of testing the interchangeability of polymer solutions used during induction hardening with water-air spraying regarding compressive residual stresses. Gearwheels made of 42CrMo4 steel were induction hardened and subsequently quenched using water-air spray cooling. The effect of different cooling parameters on the surface's residual stresses in the gearwheel's tooth flanks was analysed by means of X-ray diffraction. The microstructure was characterised by means of hardness measurements and light-microscopy. Residual stresses could be specified after using water-air spray cooling and are comparable to those using polymer quenching. Quench parameters leading to maximum compressive residual stresses in tooth flanks were determined.
