Quenching Oil 32

Description

Quenching Oil 32 – A widely used quench oil for 01 Tool Steel. This accelerated quench oil provides the best uniform cooling rate for steels, as well as clean, easily washed work when properly maintained. This product is best used for the hobbyist as it has a more controlled quench. For the professional our Quench 50 will give you a quicker harder result.

As an alternative to Parks AAA Quenching oil, this is a medium to medium/fast quenching oil, it’s the industrial choice of heat treaters for O1 (1.2510) tool steel. It works well with steels such as O1, O7, 8670, 1080 and 80CrV2.

• ISO 32 – BEST VISCOSITY FOR GENERAL PURPOSE METAL HARDENING INCLUDING O1 TOOL STEEL.
• 25 LITRE CAN OR 205LITR BARREL DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR
  
• SUITABLE FOR CIRCULATORY SYSTEMS AS WELL AS DROP QUENCHING

If you prefer a quicker quench try the Quenching Oil 50 (designed to be a Parks #50 Equivalent)

Frequently asked Questions About Quenching Oil 32

What is a quenching oil?

Quench oil serves two primary functions. First, it facilitates the hardening of steel by controlling heat transfer during quenching. Second, it enhances the wetting of steel during quenching. Furthermore, it minimizes the formation of undesirable thermal and transformational gradients, which can lead to increased distortion and cracking.

How do you harden steel at home?

You can make medium carbon steel slightly tougher, although you cannot harden it to the point where a file or hacksaw cannot cut it (the classic test of hardened steel). If you heat steel until it glows red and immediately quench it in clean water, it becomes very hard but also brittle. Rye Oil Ltd’s quenching oil controls the quench rate to prevent the steel from becoming brittle.

What is the quenching process?

Quench hardening is a mechanical process that strengthens and hardens steel and cast iron alloys. These metals consist of ferrous metals and alloys. You perform this by heating the material to a specific temperature depending on the metal, then rapidly cooling it.
