Heating steel and plunging it into cold water can harden it if properly done. Case hardening is a bit different, however. There are (or at least used to be) products such as Kasenite for this purpose. It was a granular substance into which hot steel was plunged, and it would form a coating on the outside. By properly heating and cooling this, one could increase the carbon content of the outside layer of the steel, thus making it harder than the inside portion. People who followed the directions and practiced a little could get pretty good at this.
