INTENSIVE WATER QUENCHING
New IntensiQuench® Process • AST is a licensee of IntensiQuench® processes and computer quench modeling programs • Reduces the possibility of part cracking and distortion • Allows use of lower alloy materials and permits weight savings • Less straightening, grinding and post-machining operations
• Improves hardness and durability of steel parts • Provides beneficial compressive surface stresses for stronger parts • Very rapid cooling, usually with pure water quenchant for cleaner parts For more information…
