  2. Quenching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quenching

    Water is one of the most efficient quenching media where maximum hardness is desired, but there is a small chance that it may cause distortion and tiny cracking. When hardness can be sacrificed, mineral oils are often used. These oil-based fluids often oxidize and form sludge during quenching, which consequently lowers the efficiency of the ...

  3. Tempering (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempering_(metallurgy)

    Tempering is most often performed on steel that has been heated above its upper critical (A 3) temperature and then quickly cooled, in a process called quenching, using methods such as immersing the hot steel in water, oil, or forced-air. The quenched steel, being placed in or very near its hardest possible state, is then tempered to ...

  4. Heat treating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_treating

    Cooling speeds, from fastest to slowest, go from brine, polymer (i.e. mixtures of water + glycol polymers), freshwater, oil, and forced air. However, quenching certain steel too fast can result in cracking, which is why high-tensile steels such as AISI 4140 should be quenched in oil, tool steels such as ISO 1.2767 or H13 hot work tool steel ...

  5. Martensite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martensite

    For a eutectoid steel (0.76% C), between 6 and 10% of austenite, called retained austenite, will remain. The percentage of retained austenite increases from insignificant for less than 0.6% C steel, to 13% retained austenite at 0.95% C and 30–47% retained austenite for a 1.4% carbon steel. A very rapid quench is essential to create martensite.

  6. Ground granulated blast-furnace slag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_granulated_blast...

    Samples of "ground granulated blast furnace slag" (left) and "granulated blast furnace slag" (right) Ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS or GGBFS) is obtained by quenching molten iron slag (a by-product of iron and steel-making) from a blast furnace in water or steam, to produce a glassy, granular product that is then dried and ground into a fine powder.

  7. Thermomechanical processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermomechanical_processing

    The quenching converts the billet's surface layer to martensite, and causes it to shrink. The shrinkage pressurizes the core, helping to form the correct crystal structures. The core remains hot, and austenitic. A microprocessor controls the water flow to the quench box, to manage the temperature difference through the cross-section of the bars.

  8. Case-hardening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case-hardening

    Steel which has a carbon content greater than ~0.25% can be direct-hardened by heating to around 600°C, and then quickly cooling, often by immersing in water or oil, known as quenching. Hardening is desirable for metal components because it gives increased strength and wear resistance, the tradeoff being that hardened steel is generally more ...

  9. Honyaki - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honyaki

    White steel 1 is difficult to forge and to quench due to its higher carbon and can become harder and more brittle than White 2. A water quench with these traditional steels and processes will result in a blade that is harder, stiffer, sharper with longer lasting sharpness but that is more difficult to sharpen and relatively less tough.
