What is Evaluation of Flow Uniformity Around Automotive Pinion Gears During Quenching∗ about?

## Abstract The use of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) is a powerful engineering analysis tool to reduce distortion, improve yield and to improve “first-time” quality. In this paper, CFD was used to understand quenchant flow in a quench tank, and to understand the effect of quenchant flow on part distortion. FLUENT was used to simulate the quenchant flow through a quench rack of automotive pinions. The analysis showed several locations where the flow could be improved in the quench tank, and identified regions of quenching non-uniformity on the parts. The flow on the parts was examined on the stem, the head and the overall pinion, to identify locations of suspected high distortion.
