Abstract: The principles of quenching process of aluminum parts, potential problems of aluminum parts in the quenching process and the relationship between heat transfer coefficient and temperature as well as the cooling velocity of quenchant were introduced. And a scientific basis of immersion quenching equipment of aluminum parts for customization was provided. Finally, several typical engineering examples are analyzed based on some critical issues during the design and industrialization, which are selected from dozens of cases of immersion quenching equipment of aluminum parts. Therefore, the solutions to reduce distortion under the premise of ensuring the expected performance of aluminum parts during quenching are clarified.
