| Zusammenfassung: | A method and apparatus for characterizing a quench for producing desired hardness characteristics on a steel part. The characterization preferably includes a series of heat transfer coefficients versus temperature for the quench determined from information representative of known quenches and distinguishing part characteristics such as geometry, size and composition. The quench characterization determined using the present method and apparatus can be utilized in hardness prediction software programs, and for determining a suitable quench for producing the desired hardness characteristics on the part. |
