Which quenching medium is used for quenching of carbon and low alloy steels?

Which quenching medium is used for quenching of carbon and low alloy steels? Correct Answer Water

Water produces the most severe quench followed by oils and air. For the quenching of carbon and low alloy steels, water or an aqueous solution of NaOH or NaCl is used.

Amal preparing an alloy by mixing the other two alloys. The first alloy contains zinc and carbon in the ratio of 1 : 3 and the second alloy contains Aluminium and zinc in the ratio of 2 : 3 (both these alloys have only these elements in the solution). If the new alloy contains Aluminum and Zinc in the ratio of 3 : 5, what is the percentage of carbon in the new alloy?
Consider the following statements: 1. The quenching of steel results in an increase in wear resistance, strength and hardness. 2. By the process of case hardening, hard wearing resistant surface is produced on mild steel. This is an effective method for low carbon steels because they cannot be hardened by the process of quenching. 3. When a metal is mixed with small atoms of non-metallic element in such a manner that invading atoms occupy interstitial positions in the metal lattice, an interstitial alloy results. What of the above statements are correct?
