General Purpose Quenching Oil

General Purpose Quenching Oil The general purpose of quenching oil is to rapidly cool down hot metal objects, such as steel, during the heat treatment process. It is commonly used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. Quick quenching oil is designed to have high thermal stability and low volatility, allowing it to withstand high temperatures without breaking down or evaporating. It also has good heat transfer properties, ensuring that the heat from the metal is efficiently transferred to the oil. The main purpose of quenching is to harden the metal by transforming its microstructure, typically from austenite to martensite. This process involves heating the metal to a specific temperature and then rapidly cooling it in the quenching oil. The rapid cooling rate achieved with quenching oil helps to trap the carbon atoms within the metal lattice, resulting in increased hardness and strength. In addition to its cooling properties, quenching oil also pr…
