The 15 pages that link to Quenching, each with the reason it gives.

• SteelRelated: Quenching steel can form hard martensite from austenite.

• Thermal shockRelated: Rapid cooling can generate thermal stresses alongside the intended changes in material properties.

• TemperingRelated: Quenching creates the hard, brittle structure that tempering then modifies.

• AusteniteRelated: Quenching can bypass equilibrium decomposition of austenite and produce martensite.

• BlacksmithingRelated: Blacksmiths use it to cool workpieces and, in suitable steels, alter hardness.

• MartensiteRelated: Quenching steel can suppress diffusional transformations and produce martensite.

• Precipitation hardeningRelated: It traps dissolved solute in a supersaturated solid solution before precipitation begins.

• Chain terminationRelated: A quencher can consume the active center and terminate polymer growth.

• BlacksmithRelated: The cooling method can harden steel after a blacksmith shapes and heats it.

• Spring steelRelated: Quenching hardens spring steel before tempering adjusts its brittleness.

• Field galaxyRelated: The causes of quenching in low-density environments remain distinct from cluster-driven mechanisms.

• Starburst regionRelated: Fuel consumption and outflows can help end a burst and suppress later star formation.
