| Description | This entry reviews various quenching techniques in common use. Immersion in a single quenchant, such as air to liquid, and cooling to near room temperature (usually slightly above) without interruption is the simplest method. Two quenching media may be used on a timed basis, such as a partial quench in water, followed by an oil. Quenching in molten salt, followed by finishing in air is a third method. Isothermal quenching involves cooling to some predetermined temperature, then holding at this temperature until the phase transformation is completed. Spray quenching usually uses an aqueous medium. This technique is most frequently used for quenching of induction- or flame-hardened parts, although it can be used for quenching of furnace-heated workpieces. Spray quenching offers the advantage of instantaneous control in timing as well as pressure regulation. Book Name: Encyclopedia of Iron, Steel, and Their Alloys |
