The paper attempts at simulating the temperature profile of a rod section subject to water quenching, which constitutes a part
of the controlled cooling technique that comprises quenching and self-tempering (QST) processes. Use has been made of a
finite element method (FEM) based model for solving the heat transfer equations. The impact of varying the duration of water
cooling while achieving the same targeted microstructure has been analyzed. The analysis brings to fore several key issues
that are vital to making an informed selection of the cooling duration.
