The temperature of the quenchant and the severity of the quench can significantly influence the mechanical properties, phase transformations, and hardness of steels. This study examines the influence of quenchant temperature through experimental and numerical simulations to predict temperature profiles and phase fraction distributions for AISI 4135 steel.
