Solution
The hardness of metal affected by the rate of cooling:
By the affect of rate of cooling either hard metal or soft metals are produced.
In quenching, which means rapid cooling in the presence of a medium like oil, water at high temperature due to these conditions a metal is converted hard metal.
Annealing is process in which metals are cooled slowly due to this condition soft metals are produced.
Thus, By quenching( rapid cooling of metals) produce hard metals.
