Accelerated Cold Quenching Oil

Description
Castrol Iloquench 395 is a blend of premium grades of solvent refined paraffinic mineral oils with cooling rate accelerators, surface conditioning additives and a temperature stable anti-oxidant package. This combination of base oils and additives ensures brighter as-quenched components, free from carbonaceous deposits which are usually associated with low cost accelerated quench oils.


Application

 Hardening of medium carbon and low alloy steels.
 Hardening of all types of fasteners after carburising.
 Hardening of “lean” steels.
Castrol Iloquench 395 is suitable for use in all types of furnaces, open quench tanks and after salt bath process.

Benefits
• Bright Quenching - The surface conditioning agent improves the surface cleanliness of the components making them easier to process through plating operations.
• Material Cost Reduction - The high severity of quench of Castrol Iloquench 395 allows lower alloy steels to be used, by obtaining superior mechanical properties than those obtained by using a conventional quenching oil.
• High Severity of Quench - The cooling curve shows a high vapour – boiling transition temperature (Φ2), to ensure optimum hardening of steels with a low martensite start temperature.
