Some Characteristics Of Quenching Curves (classic Reprint)

Excerpt From Some Characteristics Of Quenching Curves Admittedly, The Described Methods And Relations Are Empirical For They Are Not Based On The Fundamental Constants Of Materials, But. Upon Direct Experimental Determination Of Cooling Times Under A Variety Of Conditions. Their Accuracy Or That Of Similar Computa Tions For Other Coolants Depends Upon The Accuracy Attained In The Experiments Upon Which They Are Based. For This Reason It Would Be Unwise, Under Ordinary Conditions, To Base Calculations For A Given Coolant On A Single Cooling Curve. A Safer Course Would Be To Secure Curves For At Least Two Widely Different Sizes And Shapes And In Both Cases To Demand At Least Two Consistent Experiments.
