Abstract: 
Instead of quenching medium, quenching equipment and quenching parameters, an adapted surface structure of the heat treated component shall be investigated as influencing factor on rewetting during liquid quenching. Steel cylinders and aluminium cylinders have been quenched in water baths and oil baths. Fine surface structures by machining with turning tools with small flange radii have caused a significant relative surface increase compared to flat samples and thereby a significant decrease in rewetting duration of the whole sample (from rewetting start to finish). This is beneficial regarding quenching homogeneity. Local surface structures applied by ultrashort laser pulses have also influenced on rewetting, if resulting fins are arranged in axial cylinder direction and possess a sufficient axial length.
