摘要
This paper discusses an intensive quenching method known as the IQ-2 process. The IQ-2 method is a two-or three-step quenching process for steel parts conducted in highly agitated water. The method is based on the use of a self-regulated thermal process that takes place during the quenching of steel parts in cold liquids such as water or water-salt solution. This quenching method eliminates the film boiling process and provides better control of the martensitic transformation during quenching, resulting in a significant reduction of part distortion after quenching. It also improves material mechanical properties and the performance characteristics of steel parts. It is underlined that proper software and equipment should be used when applying the IQ-2 quenching method for steel parts. Several practical examples of the application of the IQ-2 process are provided.
