English term or phrase: quench
In some embodiments, the quench:emulsion ratio may be about 2:1 to about 40:1, or in some embodiments about 5:1 to about 15:1.
In some embodiments, the quench:emulsion ratio is approximately 8.5:1.
Then a solution of Tween (e.g., Tween 80) is added to the quench to achieve approximately 2% Tween overall.

"quench"


Explanation:
Têmpera é um resfriamento súbito para endurecer um metal. O texto cita várias razões (proporções) entre os volumes de quench:emulsão, a primeira sendo 8,5:1, ou seja 8,5 volumes de quench para 1 volume de emulsão. Sugiro deixar quench entre aspas, ou esclarecer o que significa nessa patente. É algum líquido que recebe outro chamado Tween 80 para terminar com a proporção, agora em peso, [(quench+Tween): emulsão] de 2%. Sendo assim, quench aqui não é a têmpera definida como 3. to cool suddenly by plunging into a liquid, as in tempering steel by immersion in water (Random House Webster Unabridge Dictionary).

Quench aqui seria simplesmente "água"?

água de resfriamento


Explanation:
O Tween 80 é acrescentado à água de resfriamento, também chamada quench nesse texto [(quench+Tween): emulsão], daí uma certa confusão. Quench é "to cool suddenly by plunging into a liquid, as in tempering steel by immersion in water (Random House Webster Unabridged Dictionary)", ou seja, quench é o nome do processo para dar têmpera (resfriamento súbito).
