Quench cracking |
| Back to Case study | |
| Quench cracking Lesson/Tutorial | The situation in which cracks form because of volume changes during quenching. When a material is rapidly cooled, the outer layers transform before the middle. Because a material changes volume when it is transforming, quench cracks can occur when the volume changes within the material are inconsistent, therefore, causing internal stresses. |
