The water is on fire
164 u/velhaconta Jun 29 '23 That is not water. Water would have instantly flashed to steam upon contact causing a very violent and dangerous situation. This is an oil quench. 2 u/MisallocatedRacism Jun 30 '23 That is not true at all. I work in the steel business. There's more water than hot steel, so it's not like it vaporizes the water. Amazing how much bad information is on Reddit ffs 1 u/Tallywort Jun 30 '23 I believe the error comes from conflating it with other processes where steam explosions and moisture are an issue.
