I believe oil hardening steels work just as high carbon steels for
hardening. The oil hardening steels however have alloying elements
which allow it to fully harden with a slower quench. The quench is the
dunking in water or oil. There are also air quenching steels which
harden in air.
There is a structural change of the steel, crystaline latice structure,
when hardened. I'm not sure if this is considered chemical or not. I
also do not fully understand how the alloying elements effect a steels
hardenability.
The less violent quench gives less warpage and distortion of the part.
These steels are more expensive though.
