A new quenching medium for metals and alloys

The machine-building and tool industry widely uses mineral oils as quenching media. They possess optimum cooling characteristics for many steels and alloys but have some defects, including inflammability and contamination of the atmosphere of heat-treatment shops with vapors of organic substances.

Description
Summary:The machine-building and tool industry widely uses mineral oils as quenching media. They possess optimum cooling characteristics for many steels and alloys but have some defects, including inflammability and contamination of the atmosphere of heat-treatment shops with vapors of organic substances. In addition, a soot that is difficult to wash off is formed on the surface of the treated parts. Numerous attempts to eliminate these drawbacks have not been successful. The present paper considers the properties of a new fireproof oil-base medium.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
