What is "Autenitizing"?

Heating an alloy above its tranformation temperature and then quenching it in a salt bath or other medium that extracts the heat at a sufficiently high rate to prevent formation of undesirable high-temperature-transformation qualities on its surface or in its microstructure. See "Austentite", or "Martensiting".
