Techniques of Quenching

Theory and Technology of Quenching

Abstract

Immersion cooling, refers to direct cooling (usually by a liquid quench) of the metal from its heat austenitizing temperature to, or at least to near, ambient temperature. This is the most commonly used method in the quenching of quench-hardenable steels. It is also used for rapid cooling of metals that have been solution treated at elevated temperature.
