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.
