Abstract

In this paper the methods of measuring the quenching rate are described, which enable us to determine either the temperature or the resistance of the specimen as a function of time during quenching. A simple calculation of the initial quenching rate for wires having different diameters is presented and its validity checked for exponential quenches in different gases. The methods for measuring the quenching rates are compared and the error in the quenching rate determination is estimated.
