pH Control in Ethylene Quenching
In the production of olefins, naphtha or natural gas feedstock is steam cracked at high temperatures in a cracking furnace. This sets off a variety of reactions which are brought to a halt by quenching the produced gas mixture with water. The mixture, containing approximately 38 % ethylene

of failure from stress induced during the quenching process. In order to maintain proper profile and thickness within a glass furnace the extrusion plate spacing must be maintained at a predetermined gap. Unfortunately, due to process changes and temperature swings this gap can fluctuate

are always heat treated. Because the parts may distort during heat treatment, precision parts should be semifinished, heat treated, then finished. Severe distortion is most likely to occur during liquid quenching, so an alloy should be selected that provides the needed mechanical properties

Low-Pressure Carburising Systems: A Review of Current Technology (.pdf)
. Low-pressure carburising processes are carried out in. vacuum furnaces like the one in Figure 1. Hydrocarbons are used directly as the source of. carbon. Emissions are low in volume and relatively. benign. The oil has been replaced by gas quenching. The parts emerge very clean, bright and dry

to harden fully during cooling in air or other gaseous mediums from a temperature above its transformation range. Such steels attain their martensitic structure without going through the quenching process. Additions of chromium, nickel, molybdenum and manganese are effective toward this end. The term

Alloy Steel
psi to nearly 300,000 psi. Subdivisions for most steels in this family include "through-hardenable" and "carburizing" grades (plus several specialty grades such as nitriding steels). Through-hardening grades -- which are heat treated by quenching and tempering -- are used when maximum hardness
