The mechanical properties of medium carbon steel (0.36C) were investigated under two different quenching media (water and palm oil). The properties are: the strengths, impact and hardness of the material. The investigations centered on unheat-treated, normalized; water and palm oil quenched, and tempered conditions. The tempering temperature is 200°C. An AISI steel of grade C1035 was used for comparison of the properties. Result indicated that water quenched steel produced its best properties in strength and hardness, while palm oil quenched steel has its best property in impact strength.
