  • Description: In the paper some unusual processes are considered during quenching such as self-regulated thermal process when metallic probe is covered by insulating polymeric layer, oscillation of temperature in surface layers of probe, creation a “shoulder” when quenching in polymer solution, possibility to perform austempering process just in cold liquids. Above mentioned processes build a basis for the new intensive quenching technologies and can bring a great benefit for heat treating industry when further carefully investigated. It is shown that initial temperature gradients, which cannot be governed by classical law of Fourier, can be tested by Liscic/Petrofer probe, etc. The paper discusses how organize such international investigation to satisfy contemporary practical needs and solve unsolved problems of science in the field of quenching. Also, the results of investigations can be used for software designing and cooling recipes development during quenching steel parts in liquid media. It makes a great progress because at preset time only cooling curves and cooling rates are available that are used for comparable purpose and cannot be used for recipes development.
