PAG Steel Quench 100

Description

‍

PAG STEEL QUENCH 100 is a water-based solution of an organic polymer, nitrite corrosion inhibitor, and biocide. The polymer is inversely soluble in water. Above 74°C the polymer falls out as an insoluble precipitate. Below 74°C the polymer dissolves back into solution. During quenching, the polymer deposits on the surface of the hot metal and becomes one of the controlling factors in the heat transfer process from the part into the quenchant. The actual quenching results are determined by the combined action of concentration, temperature, and degree of agitation. It is non-flammable, non-toxic and provides desirable cooling characteristics with minimal environmental impact.

‍

PAG STEEL QUENCH 100 can be used for hardening ferrous forgings, castings, stampings, and machined parts. It reduces residual stresses and dimensional distortion compared to water quenching.

PAG STEEL QUENCH 10O can be used in open quench tanks, continuous furnaces and induction hardening equipment.

Key Properties

• An aqueous polymer quenchant that includes an organic polymer, a nitrite corrosion inhibitor, and a biocide. The polymer exhibits inverse solubility in water, precipitating out of solution at temperatures above 74°C and dissolving below this temperature. This behavior significantly influences the heat transfer during the quenching process, which is essential for achieving desired metallurgical properties.
• Has a slightly hazy, straw color with a viscosity of 272 cSt at 40°C. Its solubility is excellent, being soluble in water at all proportions, and it has a specific gravity of 1.07. Additionally, its pH is measured at 10.0, and it has a freezing point of 0°C.
• Designed for the hardening of ferrous materials such as forgings, castings, stampings, and machined parts. It can be used in various settings, including open quench tanks, continuous furnaces, and induction hardening equipment. The recommended use conditions include a concentration range of 1-40% by volume and a temperature range from ambient to 60°C, with vigorous agitation suggested.
• Non-flammable and non-toxic, offering minimal environmental impact compared to traditional methods.
