An Authoritative Source : The Handbook of Quenchants and Quenching Technology is just what you need to learn both the theory and application of quenching. This book provides much-needed information on the selection and use of numerous types of quenching. For example, oil, water, salt, aqueous polymers, brine, fluidized bed, and high-pressure gas quenching are all discussed in detail. Less commonly used quenchants such as quenching into a magnetic medium, ultrasonic quenching, aus-bay quenching, HIP quenching, etc., are also discussed.
