Abstract

The thermal contact conductance (TCC) between billet and tool is a key parameter to determine the contact heat transfer in the thermal processing of alloys and metals. In this work, a self-developed transient contact heat transfer detective equipment was applied to determine the TCC between C276 superalloy and die steel. The temperature variations in specified regions of specimens during transient heat transfer process were measured and the temperatures at contacted interface were programed based on the reverse heat transfer algorithm. Then the values of TCC between C276 superalloy and die steel were calculated. The TCC shows high dependency on the interface temperature, contact pressure, lubricant, and surface oxidation conditions. The increasing interface temperature difference and contact pressure enhanced the thermal contact conductance, while the surface oxidation alleviated the heat transfer capability. In addition, the addition of lubricant was also found to enhance the thermal contact conductance. The determined values are supposed to be of significant importance for processing optimization and numerical simulation.
