Air-Hardening
(Russian samozakalivanie, “self-hardening”), in metallurgy, the acquisition by certain metallic alloys of properties characteristic of their hardened state as a result of cooling in the air after being heated to the hardening temperature. Air-hardening is characteristic of high-alloy steels with a high stability of supercooled austenite in the temperature interval between the critical points and the beginning of martensite transformation. It is also characteristic of some magnesium and other alloys. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
