A patented DANTE Controlled Gas Quench (DCGQ) process was developed for high precision distortion control during quench hardening. The DCGQ process follows a recipe of quenching time and the ambient gas temperature designed by computer modeling, with a specified maximum allowed temperature difference in the part section during the martensitic transformation.
