Summary:

This article discusses the relevance of the Jominy End-Quench Test, which was foundational in estimating hardenability and comparing materials, after the development of other types of quench tests over the last two decades.

How was DANTE Used?:

DANTE was used several times throughout this study to simulate, compare, and validate the results. In one such test, DANTE was used to compare the results of the standard Jominy test with the rapid quench Jominy test.
