This dimensionless number in heat treatment represents the ratio of internal thermal resistance to surface thermal resistance during quenching.
Difficulty: Hard- Nusselt number
- Prandtl number
- Biot number
- Fourier number
This process involves heating metal to high temperatures and then cooling it slowly to reduce hardness and increase ductility.
Difficulty: Easy- Annealing
- Quenching
- Tempering
- Forging
This transformation occurs when retained austenite in quenched steel converts to martensite at sub-zero temperatures.
Difficulty: Medium- Recrystallization
- Precipitation hardening
- Austempering
- Cryogenic treatment
This hardenability parameter, expressed in inches or millimeters, represents the diameter of a round bar that will harden to 50% martensite at its center.
Difficulty: Hard- Jominy distance
- Hardenability factor
