Abstract: A single-internal variable constitutive model is used to predict the micro-hardness for a commercial purity aluminium alloy subjected to various quenching histories. The delayed quenching, higher nucleate boiling amplitude, and wider nucleate boiling range increase the micro-hardness. A limited study of the effect of cylinder size does not yield significant changes in the microhardness. The modelling methodology developed here can be used in modelling commercial quenching processes.
