mid-15c., from drip (v.). The slang meaning stupid, feeble, or dull person is first recorded 1932, perhaps from earlier American English slang sense nonsense (1919).
Time at heat and temperature are critical in the hardening transformation phase. Rapid cooling and tempering complete the process. Quench and Temper provides strength and uniformity of hardness through the entire part from the surface to the core. This is achieved by heating the entire part up above the transformation temperature for a set period of time. Upon quenching, parts must be tempered to the desired hardness creating a Tempered Martensitic Microstructure. Medium Carbon Steels (.25-.70C) are commonly Quench and Tempered. During this quenching process, parts are cooled rapidly thereby locking in the microstructure transformation. Oil is a very common quench medium for this process.
Peppermint has a soothing and cooling effect. Thus, it is an effective remedy to help reduce body heat. 1  Simmer a few ounces of fresh peppermint leaves in a pot of boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes. 2  Strain out the leaves and allow the water to cool.3  Add the peppermint-infused water to a bathtub filled with cool bath water and soak in it for at least 20 minutes.ool water helps reduce body heat. It also helps the body recover quickly from the side effects of high temperature. 1  As soon as you notice an increase in body temperature, drink a tall glass of cool water. 2  Then, sip some cool water every 15 minutes.
