By comparison of the workpiece cooling rates under different nitrogen quenching pressure of 0 . 45MPa , 0 . 6MPa ,1 . 0MPa and 1 . 5MPa , the influence degree of quenching pressure on the workpiece cooling rate was obtained . When the quenching pressure was 0 . 6MPa and the inlet speed increased from 40m / s to 60m / s , the cooling rate was improved by 27 % , but the fan power increased 3 . 4 times . When the gas volumn flow was certain , both the specific heat and density affected the heat transfer coefficient . By computational simulation of the effects of hydrogen , helium , nitrogen and argon four quenching gases on the cooling rate of workpieces , we knew that under the same pressure and flow , the cooling capacity of fou
