SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Quenching Technology is a vital and complex part of many heat treatment processes. The microstructure and many mechanical properties of the material, as well as the residual stresses in the workpiece, largely depend on 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 fluiddynamic principles heat transfer during quenching, - Wetting kinematics, - Residual stresses after cooling, - Determination of quenching power, - Types and properties of cooling media and quenching techniques, - Prediction of the hardness profile in the quenched workpiece.
