The cooling characteristics of a liquid quenchant are usually determined by a laboratory test
using a small cylindrical probe with one thermocouple in its geometrical center. The reasons …

ABSTRACT ARTICLEINFO The paper presents the numerical simulation of quenching
cylindrical steel sample immersed in three different quenchants: water, 5% aquatensid …

This paper compares the computational cost and accuracy of an extended Kalman filter with
inverse black box models in multi-physical system identification of chemical stirred tanks …

Heat transfer mechanisms at quenching in evaporable liquid quenchants, and at high
pressure gas quenching in vacuum furnaces are described. In three different Liscic probes …

In contrast with small laboratory probes developed to evaluate the cooling properties of
relatively small samples of a quenchant, the new Liscic/Petrofer probe is designed to …

In this article, a metallurgical overview of the hardening process is provided. This overview is
followed by the methodology involved in obtaining cooling curves, the currently accepted …

The purpose of the Liščić/Petrofer probe is to determine the cooling intensity during liquid
quenching in laboratory and workshop environments. The surface heat-transfer coefficient is …

Standard laboratory test methods are useful to compare the cooling performance and
cooling regimes of different quenchants under controlled environments where quenching …

Previous studies have pointed out the need to properly characterize industrial quenching
processes to account for the inherent heterogeneities of the process. This study focuses on …

In order to reduce distortion and cracking when quenching in water, uniform cooling must be
promoted while avoiding full-film boiling. The formation of a vapor blanket may be prevented …
