jominy test
this is a test used to determine the hardenability of any grade of steel. it consists of water quenching, under closely controlled conditions, one end of a one inch diameter specimen of the steel under test and measuring the degree of hardness at regular distances from the quenched end along the side. the hardnesses obtained at regular intervals along the bar are then either tabulated or plotted on graphs.
