Abstract
The development of methods for evaluating and predicting the variation of the properties of polymer quenching media in operation requires an analysis of the quenching factor, which characterizes the degree of d ecomposition of the solid solution in quenching, which decreases the s trength (hardness) of the alloy by a given value. In the present paper the quenching factor Q is used to compare the properties of aluminum alloys quenched in hot water and aqueous solutions of polymers.
