Under real-process quenching conditions, non-continuous cooling occurs that results in a stopping and restarting transformation front throughout the tube's radial direction. It is shown that the simulated temperature history, transformation kinetics and the residual stresses from the thermo-mechanical model can be correlated with experimentally observed residual stresses and micro-hardness investigations of produced tubes. The effect of the discontinuous cooling was found to be negligible with respect to residual stresses for comparable conditions, but it can cause local self-annealing and micro-hardness drops. The combination of outer and inner cooling of the tube influences residual stress and micro-hardness distribution significantly.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1016/j.msea.2019.01.037} (DOI).
