Product Description:
The term quenching normally refers to the controlled cooling of steel components in a fluid to give specified properties. The hardness and other physical properties obtained depend upon the composition of the steel, dimension of the component, the time and temperature of the heat treatment and the speed and duration of the quenching process.A number of quenching mediums such as molten salts, brine solutions and synthetic quenchants can be used, but petroleum based quenching media find the widest application due to the following advantage:Good Thermal properties, good chemical and oxidation stability, high boiling points and low volatility, high flash and fire points.Application:These oils are used for all normal quenching operations on a wide variety of steel to impart the desired hardness to components without distortion. The special compounding agent incorporated in these oils improves the wetting ability of the oil, so that it provides faster initial cooling for optimum hardness, where as the base oil ensures slow cooling in the final stage for stress relief and distortion free results.These oils are normally used for hardening nuts, bolts, ball bearings and certain types of brake drums as well as many other components manufactured by automobile and light engineering industries. The oil is suitable for hardening of a variety of ball bearings, high speed steel tools, and other components in major industries
