    This video implies that water quenching is bad, oil quenching is good-but that simply is not the case. Different compositions of steel perform best with water or brine, others are best with various types of oil. The temperature of the quench medium can make a difference as well.
    And, as others have pointed out, a quenched steel without tempering will be brittle, regardless of what medium it is quenched in.

    Thank you for taking the time to show us in a very clear visual way the "differences" in quench media. I'm know expert but, i work with metal a lot for income plus personal interests. There are reasons for both quenches! If you're willing, in the future you should a salt water quench too! That was crazy how differently the metals reacted! Good show!

      @stlalways6715 4 роки тому +8

      Hard Case depends on the metal. There are metals that would be useless as a knife if you quench in oil because the edge would roll over with mild use.
      Tempering is needed for any
      Steel that isn’t made to either be soft or to break easily. This is why iron was worked by man longer than bronze but It was softer than bronze until they learned how to properly harden it without making it overly brittle.

      @@stlalways6715 You need a TTT diagram (time-temperature-tranformation) for a given batch of material (yes, it's different for every batch, not just for every type of steel) and you need to choose a cooling speed between the upper critical and lower critical. Oil is slower cooling medium than water, so mr. Trollsky in this example probably didn't get a 100% Martensite structure (cooling speed less than lower critical speed) and there was less heat stress in the material so oil quenched specimen was not so brittle. A good rule of thumb is: construction steels with less than 0,8% of carbon are quenched in water, tool steels over 0,8% C are quenched in oil, high speed steels and highly alloyed tool steels are "quenched" in air.

  • @juremalik9881
    @juremalik9881 3 роки тому +16

    For hardening in water you need lower lemparatures than for oil because water takes heat away a lot faster than oil (as you said in the video). I usualy harden in almost boiling water so it doesn t cool the steel so fast.
    Also tempering to reduce the inner forces in the steel making it bend and break easily.

    • @Neonator08
      @Neonator08 9 місяців тому

      boiling water at 100C verses 21c is still a massive shock to a steel blade cooking around 870C and not an appreciable difference. There's a reason oil hardened steels are listed as oil hardened. If you could get water up to a higher temperature then it might help but water boils into a gas as we all know at 100c assuming standard air pressure. The issue is water's rapid ability to heat up and evaporate/boil off via convection currents etc and shed heat, causing the steel to be cooled at a much more rapid rate. Oil's heat up much slower than water and has an overall lower heat capacity. Heat transfers to the oil and is lost from the entire mixture at a much slower and more controlled rate. Hence why it is superior

    This was actualy interesting, thank You for uploading.
    An expansion of this test could be how different dipping angles and moving around the object are affecting the outcome, many beginners does not know about that.
    I newer taught about how those different fluids are affecting the hardshells in such different ways.
    However, when i was on the axe factory here we used water, but it's much harder to master, for knives i also use oil if i hawe it at hand.
    (With water the tempering is very important to prevent what You are showing here as well as not owerheting and ruin the quenching duting the tempering process)
    I always do the finegrinding after the tempering (i always forge the blade a bit thicker than the final aim partly to prevent decarbonation but mainly to be able to correct warp) in order to correct fine warp, it seem to work as long as one are careful not to accidentaly build up heatstress in the steel after the tempering process.
    Easiest is actualy to use an dold watergrindstone since it does not risk owerheating the material as modern highspeed grinders.

      I don’t think so. The oil is more viscous than the water so as the fluids heated up the convection currents in the oil were not able to move as quickly as those in the water. This prevents the cooler liquid from transferring heat out of the steel too quickly allowing it to become less brittle after the quench. Either way it should be tempered so it wouldn’t matter as much.

    • @SEFullmetalJake
      @SEFullmetalJake 4 роки тому +44

      Shottygolfer1 It depends at what heat the steel was before quenching. steel will become brittle after a hardening quench regardless of what you use to quench anyway, the tempering cycle comes after. As to why I said he should have tested it. I know oil cools is slower, but what’s the result in it? He doesn’t compare. Usually people use it for a more controlled quench to stop warping

    I'd imagine the water quenched knife would be fine after tempering as long as it didn't crack. But the warp and the cracking risk is the rub.
    I've never found the need to use water (I use soy oil for thin water hardening steel items - it's cheap and it flows well, even if not preheated) in chasing hardness, but I have quenched in oil and broken a knife just the same way you showed with water (prior to tempering).
    I make only as a hobby, so I've not had to solve any warpage issues - i leave enough to grind them off post treatment, but it's a little limiting. Files and razors have always been straightened after a quench - both are water hardening steel most of the time, but I never paid attention to find out if they're tempered quickly and then straightened (I think that's the case). I attempted to tap a pocket knife blade that warped slightly years ago - a single light tap and it broke like glass (it was oil quenched, but made from 1095 - and not tempered).

      if you drop the metal temperature below its critical value quick enough, during quenching, austenit (microstructure of iron) will directly transform into martensite structure with is very brittle. Its linked with shearing iron atoms without diffusion. Oil absorb heat slower so probably there is more residual austenite or even different structure like bainite with is more ductile.
