Question

Predicting the properties of a material undergoing this process can be tracked by following a certain diagram’s C and Ps (“P-S”) curves. One form of this process is divided into bubble forming, vapor transport, and liquid contact phases. This process is represented by descending on the y-axis until hitting “the knee” of a TTT diagram. The rate of this process determines (10[1])whether austenite (10[1])transitions (10[1]-5[1])into pearlite, bainite, or (10[1])martensite (10[1])(“martins-ite”). A solid undergoes (10[1])this process more slowly than expected (-5[1])after being immersed in water due to the formation of a steam layer (10[1])in the Leidenfrost (10[2]-5[2])(“ley-den-frost”) effect. (10[1]-5[2])In metallurgy, a metal is dunked (-5[1])in oil (10[1])or water in order for the metal (10[1])to rapidly (10[1])undergo (10[1])this process (10[4])during (10[3])quenching. (10[4])For 10 points, (10[1]-5[1])name this process (10[1])in which the temperature of a material decreases. (10[1])■END■ (10[8]0[1])

ANSWER: cooling [accept word forms like becoming colder or cooler; accept quenching until read; prompt on heat transfer; prompt on conduction; prompt on phase transitions]
