Description
Quench Oil Accelerator – 5 Gallon Pail (Oil Based Quenchant)
Quench Oil Accelerator restores the quench speed of AAA, 400 and 420 Quench Oils after prolonged use; extends bath life. It is a blend of mineral oils containing a high percentage of the activating ingredients used in this product and other DuBois Quench Oils. It is designed to “fortify” these oils in those situations where unusually dense loads with high surface area are quenched, which has the effect of prematurely reducing the quenching speed of the oil. This liquid makes it possible to increase the quenching rate of the oil and renew its oxidation resistance at a relatively low cost since the used oil need not be discarded.
It mixes perfectly with our quenching oils. It will not stratify or settle out. The viscosity, flash point, and fire point of used oil are not changed by adding this product to your existing quench. It provides the means, at reasonable cost, of obtaining the maximum oil quench hardness from both low and high alloy steels.
KEY PROPERTIES:
• High flash point.
• Excellent thermal stability and resistance to oxidation.
APPLICATION:
The quenching speed of DuBois quenching oils should be determined by cooling curve testing per ASTM D6200 or ISO 9950. When the cooling curve indicates the oil has slowed down, normally a 5% addition of the fluid by volume will restore the quench oil to its original quenching rate. Oils which have been overheated or contaminated will not be made “like new” by adding QUENCH OIL ACCELERATOR, but quenching rates will be increased. At the same time, the effects of contamination and overheating are lessened by dilution. The fluid should be added to the quench tank under agitation to ensure uniform mixing with the quench oil.
