Recognized relationships of as-quenched hardness to quenchant agitation severity and quenchant type provide the heat treater with the ability to serve the customer. This paper provides examples of how the use of data bases helped the conversion from oil to polymer in a variable agitated impeller quench. Also discussed are the apparent improvements in quench capability and as quenched properties in the conversion to polymer.
