Jominy end quench test This test makes it possible to compare the hardenability of steel. A steel specimen of certain specified dimensions is heated in a furnace to achieve austenitization. Then, quickly, the specimen is placed on a support and an ascending water flow is allowed to pass. The idea is to abruptly cool one end of the specimen, better known as a one-way quench, and slowly cool the other end to room temperature. Finally, the hardness of the piece is measured for different distances,

APLEY TEST FOR MENISCUS INJURY The Apley Test is most probably the second most common test for meniscus tears. In the original version, the test first assesses for any pain provocation and excessive rotation during traction of the tibia. As a second step, compression is added to stress the meniscii. According to a systematic review and meta-analysis of Hegedus et al. (2007), the Apley test has a sensitivity of 61% and a specificity of 70%, which only slightly alters the post-test chance for meni
