{f} satisfy a need (esp. thirst); extinguish, put out; cool by immersing in a cold liquid; repress a desire (or urge, etc.); put an end to, destroy; relieve
To quickly place a heated object in cold water This is usually done to either stop the cooking process or to separate the skin of an object from the meat This process is sometimes referred to as "shocking "
Rapid cooling in water to retain compounds in a supersaturated solid solution after the solution heat treatment (usually considered part of the solution heat-treatment process)
electronics: suppress (sparking) when the current is cut off in an inductive circuit, or suppress (an oscillation or discharge) in a component or device
put out, as of fires, flames, or lights; "Too big to be extinguished at once, the forest fires at best could be contained"; "quench the flames"; "snuff out the candles"
cool by plunging into cold water; "quench metal" reduce the degree of (luminescence or phosphorescence) in (excited molecules or a material) by adding a suitable substance satisfy (thirst); "The cold water quenched his thirst" electronics: suppress (sparking) when the current is cut off in an inductive circuit, or suppress (an oscillation or discharge) in a component or device
The rapid cooling of the EDMed surface by the dielectric fluid Partially responsible for metallurgical changes in the recast layer and the heat-affected zone
reduce the degree of (luminescence or phosphorescence) in (excited molecules or a material) by adding a suitable substance satisfy (thirst); "The cold water quenched his thirst"
quenching - loss of superconductivity of the current carrying coil that may occur unexpectedly in a superconducting magnet As the magnet becomes resistive, heat will be released that can result in rapid evaporation of liquid helium in the cryostat
To extinguish; to overwhelm; to make an end of; said of flame and fire, of things burning, and figuratively of sensations and emotions; as, to quench flame; to quench a candle; to quench thirst, love, hate, etc
