In metallurgy, quenching is most commonly used to harden steel by inducing a martensite transformation, where the steel must be rapidly cooled through its
Quenching is the process of rapidly cooling a material (usually a metal) in order to obtain desirable mechanical properties like increased strength and hardness
In the case of high temperature turbine forging material like CrMoV steels, forced air cooling is sometimes applied in order to attain higher creep strength.11.
Metal Hardening / Metal Quenching / Metal Tempering heated above the critical transformation temperature for the material, then cooled rapidly enough to
Quenching: The process of rapid cooling metal alloys for the purpose of hardening. Quenching media include air, oil, water, molten metals, and fused salts.
Making extensive use of cooling curves, it sheds light on the transformations that occur at different cooling rates and the extent to which they can be
