Quenching in Oil vs Water: A Comparative Guide to Hardenability and Applications
Understanding the Fundamentals of Quenching The Quenching Process Quenching is essentially a controlled thermal shock, a rapid removal of heat from a heated metal object. This process is employed to alter the microstructure of the material, which in turn dictates its mechanical properties, like hardness, strength, and ductility. The goal is frequently to harden steel, … Read more
