Description

Oil quenching is a technique employed to swiftly cool metal components, thereby achieving or altering specific characteristics such as hardness, strength, or toughness. This rapid cooling process minimizes the duration that the metal remains at elevated temperatures, thereby mitigating potential defects that could arise.

Polymer quenchants, which are primarily water-based solutions, serve as effective quenching agents for both baths and sprays, particularly in induction hardening applications. The most prevalent polymer quenchants are formulated from acrylates and glycols.
