Quench severity refers to the intensity or effectiveness of a quenching process used in heat treatment, particularly in Metallurgy. It is determined by the rate at which a heated material, such as steel, is cooled, which can affect the material's microstructure and properties, such as hardness and strength. Quench severity can be influenced by factors such as the type of quenching medium (water, oil, air), the temperature of the medium, and the geometry of the material being quenched. Understanding quench severity is crucial for achieving desired characteristics in heat-treated materials.
