Heat Treatment Fluids – Houghto Quench 170

Description

HOUGHTO-QUENCH® 170 is a highly accelerated low viscosity quenching oil suitable for use at temperatures of up to 100°C. It is based upon specially selected solvent-refined base oil to minimise oxidation and ensure consistent performance under the most arduous of operating conditions. A carefully formulated additive package is incorporated into Houghto-Quench 170 to reduce the duration of the vapour blanket cooling stage and provide highly accelerated quenching characteristics, together with excellent oxidation resistance and thermal stability.

Applications

The highly accelerated speed provided by Houghto-Quench 170 enables the development of optimum strength and hardness with minimum distortion in lower hardenability and low alloy steels, heavy sectioned components or steels of borderline hardenability.

Houghto-Quench 170 is suitable for use in all types of quenching installations, including open quench tanks, sealed quench furnaces, and continuous furnaces of the shaker hearth, cast link, and mesh belt type.

Benefits

• Economic:
  • Lifetime improved provided by good oxidation resistance and thermal stability
  • Consistent performance under the most arduous of operating conditions
  • Uniform quenching characteristics maintained over a range of operating temperatures
• Operator-friendly:
  • Base oil highly refined
