Look up specific heat. It is a very interesting concept. Gold has a specific heat of .04 compared to water at 1. Gold heats up so fast that it contains very little "volume" of heat. Oil also conducts heat less well. Oil quenching of carbon steel is done to temper the metal, quinching in water from the same temp will make it as hard as glass. JimN
