What happens when you rapidly cool hot metal?
It depends on the metal. If you drop sodium or potassium into water...well, let's hope you dropped it off the side of a bridge, because the reaction is pretty darned spectacular. Chemistry teachers used to take their classes on field trips to bridges so they could see this happen, but they don't let you do that anymore. If you drop a non-reactive metal like steel or aluminum into water, it'll just sink to the bottom.
What will happen energetically to a cup of boiling hot water that is added to a cup containing a cold piece of metal?
choices are: The cold will flow from the metal into the hot water, causing the hot water to warm up and the metal to cool down. b. The energy from the hot water will flow into the cold metal, cooling the water down and heating up the metal. c. The cold will flow from the metal into the hot water, causing the hot water to cool down and the metal to warm up. d. The metal will cool down because the specific heat of water is high.
What happens when hot metal is cooling?
it cools down
What happens to metal when exposed to hot and cold?
Steel gets stronger
Tempering is one of the types of?
The only explanation of tempering is in metal manufacturing. Heat metal to cherry hot, plunge metal into water to quickly cool metal, hardened metal is created

What happens to ice cream when it is hot out?
It melts rapidly.
What will happen to hot metal?
It will cool down.
What happens when rapidly falling cold air meets rapidly rising hot air?
A tornado forms
What is the process of rapidly cooling hot metal in a cold liquid called?
quenching
What happens when steam is applied to a metal?
the metal will become hot

How do you heat treat or harden a metal chisel?
Heat the metal red hot. To harden the metal, cool it quickly by dunking it into cold water. To get a soft metal, let it cool slowly.
What happens when red hot copper is dropped in water?
Dropping a chunk of red hot copper in water will create a big hiss and the emission of steam from the container. The thermal energy of the copper will be transferred to the metal. The copper metal will cool rapidly and become brittle. If a copper wire is heated to a high temperature and quenched (cooled rapidly by immersion), it will harden and become less flexible than it was.
Why are night storage heaters made of ceramic?
This is because ceramic generally has a very low heat transfer rate - if it is hot, it will stay hot for hours because the energy does not dissipate all that fast. In contrast, metals dissipate heat energy rapidly, which is why cold beverages are often put into metal cans - they become cool relatively rapidly.
What happens when hot metal is cooling?
it cools down
What happens to your bodie when you get to hot?
Your body gets hot and therefore produces sweat to cool it off
