- Cooling media: quenching oils, water, air, and gas.
"I work in a heat treatment plant in Monterrey, Mexico. We have a tattered physical copy of Apraiz Barreiro in the break room. But I downloaded a best PDF version on my phone. Last week, I looked up how to avoid soft spots on a large gear. The solution was to increase agitation during oil quenching. That saved us a $5,000 part."

José Apraiz Barreiro, a professor and director at the Fábrica de Recalde in Bilbao, combined academic rigor with real-world industrial experience. His book doesn't just list processes; it explains the why behind every phase change, utilizing tools like the Iron-Carbon diagram and TTT curves (Time-Temperature-Transformation) to predict how steel will behave under different conditions. Core Concepts Covered "I work in a heat treatment plant in Monterrey, Mexico
Temper embrittlement: Apraiz warns that slow cooling through 450–550°C after tempering, or holding in that range, can cause intergranular fracture in alloy steels (especially with Mn, Cr, Ni, Sb, P). Rapid cooling through that range avoids it.
