This comprehensive reference collects updated and expanded research on the quenching — i.e. rapid cooling — of metals. It covers thermo- and fluid-dynamics of heat transfer, wetting kinetics, residual stresses, hardness and microstructure transformations, quenching methods for steels, aluminum and titanium alloys, selections of quench media (including vegetable-oil based quenchants), and computational modelling/simulation of quenching processes. Edited by leading experts, the book serves as an authoritative resource for engineers, metallurgists, and researchers working in heat treatment and thermal processing of metals.
