Role of Heat Conduction in a Jominy End QuenchDesign ProjectME EN 340Fall 2010 Stephen Cluff Dikshya Prasai Jominy End Quench Test for Hardenability Hardenability: The ability of steel to form martensite upon quenching. Steels with low hardenability cannot form martensite deeper within material because of slow conduction of heat from interior (martensite requires rapid cooling to form) We sought to show the role that conduction plays in a Jominy end quench test of hardenability. We did this by performing the test, measuring the hardness along the length of the quenched sample, and compa
