Choosing a Quench Medium
There are several methods and techniques of quenching. Each significantly affects the final properties of your finished material. Let us cover common media for quenching metal and their trade-offs. Water Water is an aggressive quenching method since it offers the fastest cooling rate. Water’s rapid cooling mechanism is suitable when hardness and strength are […]
Cold Drawing
Cold drawing is a critical metalworking process that involves pulling a material through a single, or a series of, progressively smaller dies at room temperature (or slightly elevated, but below its recrystallization point). This process is primarily used to shape and form metal, but it can also be applied to plastics and other materials. The primary goals are […]
