Abstract
This article details investigations on the characterization of various nanofluids as quenchants for industrial heat treatment. It provides a discussion on the preparation, stability, thermophysical properties, and wetting characteristics of nanofluids. The article explains the mechanism of heat transfer in nanofluids and discusses the effect of the deposition of nanoparticles on the probe surface. The article also presents the microstructure and mechanical properties of steel quenched in nanofluids.
