Quenching , or quench hardeningis the process of rapidly cooling hot metal in a cold liquid. Its a process in which iron alloys and steel are hardened. This is done by heating the material to a certain temperature, and then cooling it rapidly in a cold liquid, usually water.

What is the word that means heated until all living organisms have been killed?
Pasteurised - After Louis Pasteur, who discovered that rapid heating and cooling of a sample destroyed bacteria.
How does fine granied form?
rapid cooling
What texture extremely rapid cooling of lava in which no crystals form?
super fine grained rock
Why are extrusive igneous rocks not coarse grained?
Because the rapid cooling does not allow much time for crystal growth.
How Do Glassy Texture Igneous Rocks Form?
They form from the extremely rapid cooling of lava or magma. The quick cooling does not allow time for the crystallization of minerals, resulting in the formation of a natural glass.

Why do you use mercury in thermometers if it is not a good conductor of heat?
- mercury is a liquid metal - cooling and heating are easy reversible - cooling and heating are rapid - the relation between the temperature and the thermal expansion of mercury is linear
What has the author Paul Martin Eaton written?
Paul Martin Eaton has written: 'Rapid heating and cooling in the false-twist texturing process'
How does fine granied form?
rapid cooling
small crystals form from rapidly cooling magma?
no . they come from rapid cooling lava
What will happen if the cooling is rapid?
A phenomenon of supercooling is possible.
Why do lightbulbs burn out?
They burn out from 1) the rapid heating and cooling of the Tungsten filament, and 2) from the tungsten atoms being released from the metal filament by way of the extremely high temperatures. Eventually the tungsten metal fails and the filament breaks.
How rapid was the process of industrialization?
very rapid
What is the process a pumice rock go through?
Pumice is simply a frothy, gas entrained volcanic glass, a result of the extremely rapid cooling of felsic lava after eruption.
Is basalt formed from slow or rapidly cooling magma?
Basalt is formed from relatively rapid cooling magma.
Holes in a rock that results from rapid cooling are called?
Vesicles.
What are holes in a rock that result from rapid cooling called?
Vesicles.
