Description
Alumiquench Pro – 5 Gallon Pail (Water Based Quenchant)
Alumiquench Pro 6000025 is a water-based solution of an organic polymer, nitrite corrosion inhibitor, and biocide. The polymer is inversely soluble in water. Above 165.2 Deg F (74 Deg C) the polymer falls out as an insoluble precipitate. Below 165.2 Deg F (74 Deg C) the polymer dissolves back into solution. During quenching, the polymer deposits on the surface of the hot metal and becomes one of the controlling factors in the heat transfer process from the part into the quenchant. The actual quenching results are determined by the combined action of concentration, temperature, and degree of agitation. It is non-flammable, non-toxic and provides desirable cooling characteristics with minimal environmental impact.
Alumiquench Pro 6000025 meets the requirements of Aerospace Material Specification 3025, Type 1. ALUMIQUENCH PRO can be used for solution heat treating of a wide range of aluminum alloys such as 2024, 6061 and 7075. Applications include forged, wrought, and cast aluminum parts. It reduces residual stresses and dimensional distortion compared to water quenching.
ALUMIQUENCH PRO can be used in open quench tanks and continuous furnaces. Ideal for solution heat treating of a wide range of aluminum alloys. The polymer is inversely soluble above 165°F.
Complies with Aerospace Material Specification 3025.

Shell Cup Test Method (Shell Cup #2)
1. Submerge the cup in the 80°F sediment and air free solution. Allow approximately 30 seconds for the cup to attain sample temperature.
2. Lift the cup vertically out of the solution, starting the stopwatch as the cup breaks the surface.
3. Record the time required for the cup to empty, stopping the watch when the stream first breaks.
4. Read concentration from the plot of time (seconds) versus percent by volume concentration.
