AAA Quench Oil

Description

AAA Quench Oil – 5 Gallon Pail (Oil Based Quenchant)

CHARACTERISTICS:
This is a clear, gold colored product designed to provide maximum cooling rates for austenitized steels. Its formulation guarantees good stability due to its accelerator package which will not stratify out at any temperature nor can it be filtered out. It can be used as a quenchant from temperatures as high as 1750°F and is especially suitable for developing maximum oil-based hardness in medium and low alloy steels. It is widely used as a medium for carburized and carbonitrided work as well.

Our product is known as a fast style fluid, 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 oils. This ensures higher and deeper hardness levels are created without accompanying distortion of parts. Testing demonstrates a 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 fluid 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 rate provided by AAA QUENCH OIL was designed to satisfy this requirement.
Additionally, this low viscosity 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 AAA QUENCH OIL with confidence. Your parts will achieve maximum oil quenched hardness with minimum distortion or cracking. Lastly, This product will produce exceptionally clean, bright work when used within its recommended temperature range.
