The Science of Quenching
The new President of American Society of Materials International (ASM), Dr. Fred Lisy, told membership at the 2009 ASM Awards Dinner, at the Omni Penn Hotel, in Pittsburgh, PA, on October 27, 2009, that the teaching of materials science must use new media technologies. As “Exhibit A” Dr Lisy then presented an animation clip from Deformation Control Technologies,’ (Cleveland, Ohio, USA) DANTE model, showing the modeling of the IntensiQuench(R) process on a particular part modeled for IQ Techologies Inc. The DANTE finite element model shows temperature change during the quench, Austenite and Martensite volume fraction, and minimum principal stress values in the particular part during the intensive water quench process. A copy of that clip will be made available shortly.
Also at the ASM International meeting, our very own Dr. Nikolai Mykola Kobasko, the Chief Techology Officer of IQ Technologies Inc, was inducted as a Fellow of ASM. Dr. Kobasko was recognized for his substantial and innovative contributions to thermal science, including the development of IntensiQuench processes and modeling of thermal processes.
IntensiQuench, intensive water quenching processes can be applied to many metal parts to enhance part performance, reduce part cost and eliminate oil and polymer quenchants. IntensiQuench can also fully integrate the heat treating process into the manufacturing cell.
