Wj. Lee et al., THE EFFECT OF QUENCHING MEDIA ON THE HEAT-TRANSFER COEFFICIENT OF POLYCRYSTALLINE ALUMINA, Journal of Materials Science, 28(8), 1993, pp. 2079-2083
Surface heat transfer coefficient values were measured for polycrystal
line alumina quenched into water, into oil, and into liquid nitrogen.
Since the measurements of the surface heat transfer coefficient h for
alumina (and ceramics in general) are very limited, we compare our mea
surements with calculations of h for the water quench and with measure
ments of h on non-ceramic materials for the oil and liquid nitrogen qu
enches.
