Abstract

Abstract: Heat treatment has a significant effect on the mechanical properties of steel. In the heat treatment process of steel, the quenching process is particularly important. The quenching process largely determines the final quality and performance of the material. Compared with the traditional quenching process, the aerosol quenching process has many advantages. Adjusting the pressure of air and water, the cooling rate of the gas mist is between static air cooling and flowing water cooling, and the cooling rate is controllable, which can realize the ideal quenching cooling process. The components of the aerosol are water and gas in the air, with low energy consumption and no pollution. This article summarizes the research status of aerosol quenching based on traditional quenching process and new quenching process.
