Quenching
What is Quenching?
Quenching is the rapid cooling of a material from an elevated temperature. It is
generally intended to form martensite in steel. The minimum cooling rate to avoid the
non-martensitic transformation of products is known as the critical cooling rate.
Other common names and related subjects are: direct quenching, hot quenching,
interrupted quenching, gas quenching, pressure quenching, selective quenching, spray
quenching, and time quenching.*
