Press quenching is a specialized quenching technique that can be utilized during heat treatment to minimize the distortion of complex geometrical components. The distortion encountered in industrial heat treating operations can result from a wide variety of independent contributing factors. These include, among others, the quality and prior processing history of the material from which the component in question has been manufactured; the residual stress distribution and prior thermal history of the component; and the generation of unbalanced thermal and transformation stresses induced by the quenching operation itself. High precision components such as industrial bearing races and automotive spiral bevel gears can often distort unpredictably during unconstrained or free oil quenching as a result of these factors.
