The automotive industry is the principal user of P/M forgings, primarily for transmission and differential components, but also for engine parts. Other markets are in power tools and farm machinery. Cost effectiveness is generally the reason for substituting P/M forgings for conventionally forged, cast, or machined parts. 

Quenching. After solution treatment, the product is generally cooled to room temperature at such a rate to retain essentially all of the solute in solution. The central portions of thicker products caimot be cooled at a sufficient rate to prevent extensive precipitation in some alloys. Moreover, some forgings and castings are dehberately cooled slowly to minimize distortion and residual stress produced by differential cooling in different portions of the products. Cold water, either by immersion or by sprays, is the most commonly used cooling medium. Hot water or a solution of a polymer in cold water is used when the highest rates are not desired. Dilute Al—Mg—Si and Al—Mg—Zn extmsions can be effectively solution heat treated by the extmsion process therefore, they may be quenched at the extmsion press by either air or water. 

Materials of construction depend on the metallurgical requirements and pressure of the gas being compressed hut usually the more popular materials include cast iron, cast steel, alloy steel, or forged steel (high pressure). Figure 12-42 illustrates the extent of damage internally when materials of construction are not resistant to possible effects of internal corrosion. 

The volumetric ratio of the two liquid phases (j6 = Forg/ Faq) can affect the efficiency of substrate conversion in biphasic media. The biocatalyst stability and the reaction equilibrium shift are dependent on the volume ratio of the two phases [29]. In our previous work [37], we studied the importance of the nonpolar phase in a biphasic system (octane-buffer pH 9) by varying the volume of solvent. The ratio /I = 2/10 has been the most appropriate for an improvement of the yield of the two-enzyme (lipase-lipoxygenase) system. We found that a larger volume of organic phase decreases the total yield of conversion. Nevertheless, Antonini et al. [61] affirmed that changes in the ratios of phases in water-organic two-phase system have little effect upon biotransformation rate.
