Gas quenching is used primarily in connection with hardening in vacuum furnaces, but it can also be used with the gas applied by nozzles or fans at a high flow
GAS QUENCHING. Gas type and pressure, blower motor power, and furnace design features are among the important factors to consider when choosing a vacuum.
where m and A are constants depending on furnace design, workload and properties of the gas. Effect of blower capacity on cooling rate. A quench blower consists
Common quench gases include nitrogen, argon and helium. Hydrogen, although excellent with respect to heat transfer, is seldom used as a quench gas due to safety
