“…We have carried out hundreds of quenching tests with spheres (Hwalek, 1982; Irving and Westwater, 1986;Zinn, 1984) using 5 metals (Cu, Al, Zn, Pb, Bi) of 6 diameters (0.635-10.16 cm), in vessels of 12 diameters (0.76-40.6 cm), with liquid nitrogen, Freon 12, Freon 22, and helium at atmospheric pressure.
