Quenching Theory and Technology

By George E. Totten, Hans M. Tensi, Lauralice C.F. Canale

Updating the revered 20-year-old original, this new edition is a complete reference on the critical topic of quenching, which is fundamental to production of defect- and distortion-free products. Topics covered include thermo- and fluid-dynamic principles of heat transfer during cooling, as well as wetting kinematics, residual stresses after cooling, computer modeling and prediction of microstructure transformation, hardness distribution, stress-strain, and distortion. Ideal for specialists in heat treatment practice, this book is also excellent as a senior undergraduate and graduate text and for numerous specialized courses and seminars worldwide.
