Description
400 Quench Oil – 5 Gallon Pail (Oil Based Quenchant)
SKU: 6000007 400 Quench Oil Is designed to provide maximum cooling rates for austenitized steels. It is a version of our AAA but with additional accelerator package in its formula. Its formulation guarantees good stability
which will not stratify out at any temperature, nor can it be filtered out. This product can be used as a quench from temperatures as high as 1750°F and is especially suitable for developing maximum oil-quenched hardness
in medium and low alloy steels. It is particularly useful when quenching parts with very high surface area to mass ratios such as with fasteners. In cases like this, using this product will reduce or eliminate the need for additions of an ACCELERATOR. It is widely used as a quenching medium for carburized and carbonitrided work as well.
This liquid is known as a fast oil, achieving rapid cooling rates in the nucleate boiling stage immediately following a short vapor phase. It also provides a slower cooling rate through the martensitic transformation range
(Ms – Mf) than competitor’s fast quench oils. This ensures higher and deeper hardness levels are created without accompanying distortion of parts. Testing demonstrates 400’s superior heat removal characteristics are
the difference between partial and complete hardening in actual practice.

Overall, distortion in oil quenched parts is proven to be caused by sluggish, non-uniform cooling rates. This is due to the thermal variations and mixed microstructures in the initial stages of the quench which slower quench oils
produce. A fast uniform quench is especially important in batch-type carbonitriding furnaces to provide all portions of the load becoming evenly hardened. The quenching rate provided by 400 QUENCH OIL was designed to satisfy this
requirement. Additionally, this low viscosity quench oil drains off parts quickly resulting in less drag-out and is characteristically easier to wash off work after quenching. If left on, it provides a thin film of protection from rust.
You can use 400 QUENCH OIL with confidence. Your parts will achieve maximum oil quenched hardness with minimum distortion or cracking. Lastly, 400 QUENCH OIL will produce exceptionally clean, bright work when used within its
recommended temperature range. For more information please see the Technical Data Sheet (TDS).
