Abstract
Methods for processing workpieces. A first temperature of a first section of a workpiece having a non-uniform thickness may be maintained. A cooling rate of a second section of the workpiece may be controlled while maintaining the first temperature of the first section. The workpiece may be quenched after cooling the second section of the workpiece to form a quenched workpiece, in which the cooling rate may be controlled such that the second section of the workpiece has desired properties.
