Heat transfer coefficients of different quenchants were accurately calculated by a traditional method of inverse heat transfer. The accurate heat transfer coefficients of different quenchants can ensure accuracy FEM results of temperature field of A357 alloy large complicated thin-wall workpieces during quenching. The quenchants of water, machine oil and 5%-UCON quenchant A were used. Quenching residual stress and distortion were investigated by considering the influence of quenchant and quenchant temperature. The maximum residual stress and distortion of quenched workpieces were predicted by using FEM simulation based on ABAQUS software. Key words: A357 aluminum alloy; complicated thin-wall workpieces; finite element method (FEM) simulation; residual stress; distortion simulation of quenching process of workpieces has been 1 Introduction
