What is the difference between normalising and quenching?
In the normalising metal treatment process, the metal is cooled slowly and gradually while in quenching metal treatment process the metal is called very fast and abruptly.
Is brittle a physical property of metal?
some metals (cast iron for example) are brittle- it is a physical property
Is a tin a brittle non-metal?
No, tin is a pliable metal
Is zinc a brittle metal?
Yes, zinc is brittle at room temperature but at higher temperature is is very malleable.
What is a brittle non-metal element?
Almost all of the non-metals are brittle when solid. For example, sulfur.
Why it is necessary to temper hardened steel immediately after quenching?
to avoid the high internal stresses caused by quenching and to get tempered Martensite that is less brittle
Why would you use a quenching process?
Quenching is done when you need to obtain the hardest, toughest form of the metal / polymer. For instance, when a steel is quenched in water it gets much harder and mechanical resistant but also more brittle than if it was allowed to cool down in a oven or at air.

Is brittle metal or non-metal?
Brittle is neither a metal or nonmetal, it is a physical property of materials.Brittle is a property of a material. Most metals are not brittle but ductile and maleable.
Is brittle a physical property of metal?

What is the process of rapidly cooling hot metal in a cold liquid called?
quenching
Does freezing rain make metal brittle?
No, freezing rain has no effect on metal itself. It may appear brittle because ice is obviously brittle. But you can smash the ice off and the metal will be fine.
What is the term given to the Sudden cooling of metal during heat treatment process?
quenching
What happens when heated metal is suddenly immersed in water?
The metal increases in hardness, a mechanical property. The process which transforms the metal hardness is called "quenching".
Is brittle a metal or a non metal?
metals
Is a tin a brittle non-metal?
No, tin is a pliable metal
Brittle metal beginning with t?
tin
