Quenching is one of the most fundamentally complex processes in
the heat treatment of metals, and it is something on which
mechanical properties and distortion of engineering components
depend. With chapters written by the most respected international
experts in the field, Quenching Theory and Technology, Second
Edition presents the most authoritative, exhaustive, and recent
findings in this vital area. Understanding and control of quenching
and quenchants is a critical constant in all well established and
emerging heat treatment process technology. The collection of
up-to-date knowledge in this book is the latest outcome from
continuing formal and informal discussions by experts within the
framework of the International Federation for Heat Treatment and
Surface Engineering (IFHTSE).
It covers topics including:
- Thermo-and fluid dynamic principles of heat transfer during
cooling
- Wetting kinematics
- Residual stresses after cooling
- Computer modeling and prediction of microstructure
transformation
- Hardness distribution
- Stress-strain and distortion
With revised and updated content from the first edition, this
book adds coverage of important technological developments.
Although the primary focus continues to be on the quenching of
steel, it also details quenching of aluminum and titanium alloys,
quench severity of selected vegetable oils, gas quenching,
intensive quenching, and simulation of quenching. Presenting the
most recent findings in this area, this essential piece of
literature is a substantial contribution to the general field of
the thermal processing of metals. It is useful not only for
specialists in heat treatment practice, but also those in higher
education or numerous specialized courses and seminars
worldwide.
