Oil Quenching Heat Treatment
Zion Industries offers a variety of quality heat treating services, including oil quenching. This process facilitates hardening of steel by controlling heat transfer and wettings the metal to minimize undesirable formations.
Quenching is an important part of the heat treating process, and knowing what quenching oil to choose for your heat treating application is vital. It is just as important to be sure you’re properly quenching a material, in order to achieve the desired hardness. Improper quenching will occur if a part is quenched too slowly or if the heat isn’t removed quickly enough.
Why use oil quenching heat treatment?
Oil’s higher boiling range makes it a better for proper quenching than water, allowing the slower convective cooling stage to start soon. Oil quenching heat treatment can also be used to treat intricate shapes, no matter how detailed. In addition, this method removes the worry of soft parts by avoiding the use of additives to slow down the cooling.
