Allotropes of iron
At atmospheric pressure, three allotropic forms of iron exist, depending on temperature: alpha iron (α-Fe, ferrite), gamma iron (γ-Fe, austenite), and delta iron (δ-Fe).
See Quenching and Allotropes of iron
Alloy
An alloy is a mixture of chemical elements of which in most cases at least one is a metallic element, although it is also sometimes used for mixtures of elements; herein only metallic alloys are described.
Amorphous metal
An amorphous metal (also known as metallic glass, glassy metal, or shiny metal) is a solid metallic material, usually an alloy, with disordered atomic-scale structure.
See Quenching and Amorphous metal
Austempering
Austempering is heat treatment that is applied to ferrous metals, most notably steel and ductile iron. Quenching and Austempering are metal heat treatments.
See Quenching and Austempering
Austenite
Austenite, also known as gamma-phase iron (γ-Fe), is a metallic, non-magnetic allotrope of iron or a solid solution of iron with an alloying element.
Cementite
Cementite (or iron carbide) is a compound of iron and carbon, more precisely an intermediate transition metal carbide with the formula Fe3C.
Critical point (thermodynamics)
In thermodynamics, a critical point (or critical state) is the end point of a phase equilibrium curve.
See Quenching and Critical point (thermodynamics)
Detroit
Detroit is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Michigan.
Eutectic system
A eutectic system or eutectic mixture is a homogeneous mixture that has a melting point lower than those of the constituents.
See Quenching and Eutectic system
Giambattista della Porta
Giambattista della Porta (1535 – 4 February 1615), also known as Giovanni Battista Della Porta, was an Italian scholar, polymath and playwright who lived in Naples at the time of the Renaissance, Scientific Revolution and Counter-Reformation.
See Quenching and Giambattista della Porta
Hardening (metallurgy)
Hardening is a metallurgical metalworking process used to increase the hardness of a metal. Quenching and Hardening (metallurgy) are metal heat treatments.
See Quenching and Hardening (metallurgy)
Hardness
In materials science, hardness (antonym: softness) is a measure of the resistance to plastic deformation, such as an indentation (over an area) or a scratch (linear), induced mechanically either by pressing or abrasion.
Heat treating
Heat treating (or heat treatment) is a group of industrial, thermal and metalworking processes used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material. Quenching and heat treating are metal heat treatments.
See Quenching and Heat treating
High-speed steel
High-speed steel (HSS or HS) is a subset of tool steels, commonly used as cutting tool material.
See Quenching and High-speed steel
Iron
Iron is a chemical element.
Iron Age
The Iron Age is the final epoch of the three historical Metal Ages, after the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age.
Leidenfrost effect
The Leidenfrost effect is a physical phenomenon in which a liquid, close to a solid surface of another body that is significantly hotter than the liquid's boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer that keeps the liquid from boiling rapidly.
See Quenching and Leidenfrost effect
List of materials properties
A material property is an intensive property of a material, i.e., a physical property or chemical property that does not depend on the amount of the material.
See Quenching and List of materials properties
Magia Naturalis
Magia Naturalis (in English, Natural Magic) is a work of popular science by Giambattista della Porta first published in Naples in 1558.
See Quenching and Magia Naturalis
Mahabharata
The Mahābhārata (महाभारतम्) is one of the two major Smriti texts and Sanskrit epics of ancient India revered in Hinduism, the other being the Rāmāyaṇa.
Manganese
Manganese is a chemical element; it has symbol Mn and atomic number 25.
Martempering
Martempering is also known as stepped quenching or interrupted quenching. Quenching and Martempering are metal heat treatments.
See Quenching and Martempering
Martensite
Martensite is a very hard form of steel crystalline structure.
Materials science
Materials science is an interdisciplinary field of researching and discovering materials.
See Quenching and Materials science
Metallurgy
Metallurgy is a domain of materials science and engineering that studies the physical and chemical behavior of metallic elements, their inter-metallic compounds, and their mixtures, which are known as alloys.
Nickel
Nickel is a chemical element; it has symbol Ni and atomic number 28.
Odyssey
The Odyssey (Odýsseia) is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer.
Pearlite
Pearlite is a two-phased, lamellar (or layered) structure composed of alternating layers of ferrite (87.5 wt%) and cementite (12.5 wt%) that occurs in some steels and cast irons.
Phase (matter)
In the physical sciences, a phase is a region of material that is chemically uniform, physically distinct, and (often) mechanically separable.
See Quenching and Phase (matter)
Pliny the Elder
Gaius Plinius Secundus (AD 23/24 AD 79), called Pliny the Elder, was a Roman author, naturalist, natural philosopher, naval and army commander of the early Roman Empire, and a friend of the emperor Vespasian.
See Quenching and Pliny the Elder
Quench press
A quench press is a machine that uses concentrated forces to hold an object as it is quenched.
See Quenching and Quench press
Steel
Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon with improved strength and fracture resistance compared to other forms of iron.
Tempering (metallurgy)
Tempering is a process of heat treating, which is used to increase the toughness of iron-based alloys. Quenching and Tempering (metallurgy) are metal heat treatments.
See Quenching and Tempering (metallurgy)
Theophilus Presbyter
Theophilus Presbyter (fl. c. 1070–1125) is the pseudonymous author or compiler of a Latin text containing detailed descriptions of various medieval arts, a text commonly known as the Schedula diversarum artium ("List of various arts") or De diversis artibus ("On various arts"), probably first compiled between 1100 and 1120.
See Quenching and Theophilus Presbyter
Thermal conduction
Conduction is the process by which heat is transferred from the hotter end to the colder end of an object.
See Quenching and Thermal conduction
Toughness
In materials science and metallurgy, toughness is the ability of a material to absorb energy and plastically deform without fracturing.

See Quenching and Von Stahel und Eysen
Window of opportunity
A window of opportunity, also called a margin of opportunity or critical window, is a period of time during which some action can be taken that will achieve a desired outcome.
