“quenching”的概念、定义、翻译、参考文献-科学参考

quenching

Physics

1. The rapid cooling of a metal by immersing it in a bath of liquid in order to improve its properties. Steels are quenched to make them harder but some nonferrous metals are quenched for other reasons (copper, for example, is made softer by quenching).

2. The process of inhibiting a continuous discharge in a Geiger counter so that the incidence of further ionizing radiation can cause a new discharge. This is achieved by introducing a quenching vapour, such as methane mixed with argon or neon into the tube.

Chemistry

1. (in metallurgy) The rapid cooling of a metal by immersing it in a bath of liquid in order to improve its properties. Steels are quenched to make them harder but some nonferrous metals are quenched for other reasons (copper, for example, is made softer by quenching).
2. (in physics) The process of inhibiting a continuous discharge in a Geiger counter so that the incidence of further ionizing radiation can cause a new discharge. This is achieved by introducing a quenching vapour, such as methane mixed with argon or with neon, into the tube.

Geology and Earth Sciences

The sudden chilling of magma, which may provide a ‘snapshot’ of the mineral phases that were in equilibrium under a particular set of temperature and pressure conditions. Quenching is much used in experimental petrology to investigate the course of mineral reactions.
