Hardenability-The ability of a ferrous alloy to form martensite when quenched from a temperature
above the upper Critical temperature. It describes how much hardness is obtained at various depths
below surface of a grade of steel once it has been subjected to hardening under specific conditions.

increasing the
quenching speed so that
the cooling rate at the
center of the component
exceeds the critical
cooling rate. This can be
achieved, for example,
by changing from a
normal speed
quenching oil to a high
speed accelerated
quenching oil (Fig. 4) or,
if using a polymer
quenchant, by reducing
the concentration of the
solution.

speed
influences hardness
and mechanical
properties
With a normal speed oil,
hardness decreases
rapidly below the
surface due to the
formation of pearlite
and bainite
With a high speed oil,
the critical cooling rate
is exceeded to a much
greater depth below the
surface, resulting in an
improved hardness
