Conclusions
-
1.
Water-air mixtures in which 3 m3/m2·h of water is used do not produce the cooling rate necessary for increasing the hardness of low alloyed steel sheets 12 mm thick or thicker.
-
2.
Quenching with a spray makes it possible to regulate the cooling rate and the degree of hardening of low alloyed steel.
-
3.
Quenching by sprays is the most effective for sheets 15–25 mm thick.
