Quenching oil analysis
Heat treatment, also known as quenching, involves rapidly cooling a metal workpiece to achieve a desired hardness and strength. This rapid cooling is typically accomplished by immersing the workpiece into a quenching oil at specific temperatures. The resulting microstructure of the metal is crucial to its final properties.
The quality of the quenching oil used in this process is paramount, as it directly affects the outcome of the heat treatment. To ensure consistent and high-quality results, the oil must be regularly analyzed and tested to meet the specific requirements of the application.
