Yes you can, or have adjustment of the air flow

and warren if you heat up things like linkages and re-bend them to the shape you need would you quench or air cool to keep strength?

Depends on a few factors, but generally yes quenching will reset the hardness and slow cooling will keep maliability.

Other ways of cooling can be to use ash or oil slowing the cooling to be consistant through the whole object.

Doing it just in air will allow the surface to cool faster than the centre.

Jez Able your streaching the old grey matter now :D
