Correlation of Cooling Velocity of the Standard Jominy Hardenability Test with the Cooling Velocity within the Cross-Section of Plates

摘要

This 1942 report describes the determination of cooling velocities at 1300 F for several cast and rolled low alloy, armor steel plates quenched in oil and in water at 1600 F and 1700 F. The velocities were determined for the center position and for a position midway to center on plate specimens varying in thickness from 1/2 inch to 4 inches. The results take into account the fact that they were not affected either by the composition of the steels or by the type of steel, that is, whether cast or rolled.
