Aqua-Quench C

Advanced Polymer Quenchant

 

DESCRIPTION

 

Aqua-Quench C is an advanced polymer quenchant designed for both low and high harden-ability steel applications including forged parts, coils of wire and bar stock. In special steels, martensitic stainless and titanium alloys.

 

APPLICATION

 

The quenching characteristics of Aqua-Quench C can be varied between those of water and normal speed cold quenching oil by varying the concentration of the solution. The concentration of Aqua-Quench C must be regularly controlled by:

 

Refractometer: a workshop method, easy and rapid, adapted to clean solutions

 

Kinematic Viscosity: a more effective method of control

 

Aqua-Quench C can be used in many different types of furnace applications including continuous mesh belt, shaker hearth and rotary furnaces as well as for direct quenching into open quench tanks.

FEATURES/ BENEFITS

 

·         Advanced polymer quenchant providing oil-like quenching characteristics and less distortion eliminating the need for re-work

·         Water based quenchant to eliminate fire hazard and smoke associated with quenching oils along with cleaner parts and safer working environment

·         Flexibility of quenching speed helps to minimize distortion and provide excellent dimensional control

·         Nitrite free corrosion inhibitor providing good short term rust protection of heat treated components
