Steel components are heated to their specified austenitizing temperature in a controlled furnace atmosphere before being immersed in quench oil. The cooling rate transforms the steel’s microstructure while reducing thermal stresses compared to water quenching.
Oil Quenching
Oil quenching is used to rapidly cool steel components after austenitizing to achieve high hardness, strength, and wear resistance. Oil quenching is an excellent choice for customers requiring consistent mechanical properties, reliable performance, and tight dimensional control.
