Abstract
Martempering and austempering processes may eliminate the need for conventional oil quenching and tempering. This article presents the suitability of steels for martempering and austempering. It discusses the compositions of oils suitable for marquenching and modified marquenching and also presents safety precautions recommended for the use of martempering oils. Finally, the article explains the effect of agitation and water in a molten salt bath.
