Oil quenching  

Definition

  • 1. The quenching process is a crucial step in the heat treatment of metals. It’s a process of rapidly cooling a piece of metal in order to achieve or modify specific properties like hardness, strength, or toughness. Oil is frequently used for quenching because it transfers heat very quickly and without causing significant distortions. (Valvoline,https://www.valvolineglobal.com/en-eur/what-is-oil-quenching/)
