Overview

Quenching technology is a vital and complex part of many heat treatment processes. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the material, as well as its residual stresses, largely depend upon it. Today, quenching is an interdisciplinary field of science and technology based on wide theoretical knowledge and supported by computer simulation programs. This book presents the most important theoretical and technological aspects of quenching. Topics discussed include structural transformation phenomena and their relation to mechanical properties after quenching, thermo-and fluid-dynamic principles of heat transfer during quenching, wetting kinematics, residual stresses after cooling, the determination of quenching power, the properties of cooling media and quenching techniques, and prediction of the hardness profile.
